Hercule Poirot's Christmas | Agatha Christie

Pickpick

This was another collection of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple short stories with a somewhat Christmassy background. I liked it because it was entertaining, but it seems like compilation mas mday the audiobook company because I couldn‘t find it as book.

@chaoticmissadventures #333challenge

Auto-buy: V.E. Schwab, Patrick deWitt, P. Djèlí Clark

Read More: Adrian Tchaikovsky, Walter Mosley, Percival Everett

First Time: Malcolm Gladwell, Kurt Vonnegut, Brom

ChaoticMissAdventures Kurt Vonnegut is one of my all time favorites I even got So It Goes tattooed on myself! These are great lists! I do recommend listening to the podcast If Books Could Kill episode about Outliers before reading Gladwell, it turns out not everything he writes is on the up and up. 📚 21h
TieDyeDude Thanks for the recommendation, @chaoticmissadventures I got “Blink“ at our book club book swap, otherwise Gladwell might not have made this list :-)
I saw an article that argued the movie of Breakfast of Champions starring Bruce Willis is misunderstood and underrated. Then I went down a rabbit hole reading about Vonnegut, who I've never really gave much thought to.

“But Hester, I‘m years older than you are. You can‘t really—“
“That is—if you want me,” said Hester with sudden doubt.
“Oh, I want you!” said Arthur Calgary.

This was a reread for me! I remembered who the killer was but not all of the other drama. It was still a good mystery!

This is a fun little Poirot short (the actual book includes several other short stories, but they aren't particularly Christmasy, so I only read the title story this time around). Poirot reluctantly heads off to a country estate for an “old-fashioned Christmas“ - and a bit of undercover sleuthing. Poirot is very Poiroty in this one, and I quite enjoyed rereading it.

MaleficentBookDragon @Aims42 @Zuhkeeyah @ChaoticMissAdventures it is one of my favorites. I once put a harness on my cat and tried to take her for a walk. It looked just like the mug except she was gray. 😹 (edited) 6d

#NoPlaceLikeHolmes @dabbe

I think I missed something regarding the poison.

Librarybelle To me, it seemed a little odd that she took the poison. I also wasn‘t 100% sure why they went to the Russian embassy. 7d

CogsOfEncouragement 1 - not sure

2 - Her life was horrible, and she didn't want to have to do time for killing the secretary?

3 - I thought SH and W wanted to provide the evidence to free Alexis from his sentence in the Siberian salt mine as the Mrs. requested.
7d
Daisey I agree with @CogsOfEncouragement that she didn‘t want to be convicted of murder and they went to the embassy to share the proof of evidence. 7d
Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement @Librarybelle I think the poison was a bit extra but as @Daisey said she didn‘t want to be convicted of murder and therefore sent to prison. 6d
dabbe @Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement @Librarybelle ... what I don't get is why have poison in the first place? It was proven by Holmes that she did not come there to murder anyone. She didn't bring a murder weapon at all--yet she brings poison? Just in case? How would she know she'd be in a place where she could quickly find a weapon if she needed to? 6d
Librarybelle Good point, @dabbe ! 6d
Cuilin @dabbe exactly!! 5d
