We‘re staying in 1924 with May‘s #ChristiesCapers . This first short story collection by Christie of course features Poirot. Discussion on May 25th!
I will post the story titles in the comments. This one should be the same in all countries, but just in case, our discussion will focus on the listed short stories. #AgathaChristieClubR3

panI am proud that I did not bail, but Poirot and Christie are not at their best in short stories. Too much dialogue, too minor of cases, and too quick of resolutions made each story in here a bigger bore than the first. I‘ll read Book 4, but only after a break to cleanse my pallet.
pickMaybe not one of my favorites, but not entirely disappointing either. Just needed a little Poirot in my life!
pickAh Hastings. We meet again. This was a reread but I didn‘t remember much of the story before going back into it. Entertaining mystery though Hastings really annoys me. Can‘t wait for the next Poirot! #ChristiesCapers
pickRead for Mother-Daughter Murder Mystery Book Club with @AmyK1 and really enjoyed it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickCatching up with first few books ... (re)Reading with Christie‘s Capers Group on #Litsy (Reading Agatha Christie's books in publication order) Hosted by @Librarybelle

4 Stars • 1920 • The Mysterious Affair at Styles, Agatha Christie‘s first novel, introduces Hercule Poirot. Set during World War I at Styles Court, it follows the poisoning of wealthy Emily Inglethorp. Narrated by Captain Hastings, ⬇️
so-soI love Poirot. I loved the mystery. I loathed all the other characters. Wednesday, my reading buddy, pictured, enjoyed Sunday reading cuddles.
