Another Agatha Christie novel – my daughter read this a few months and ruined it for me by telling me whodunnit, having assumed that I’d read it, but I never had. So, I wasn’t surprised by the ending but it was still interesting figuring out just how the murderer(s) managed it. I love an Agatha [...]

A classic Agatha Christie novel, and probably one of the older ones, from the feel of the writing. I always enjoy a Hercules Poirot novel. This one is from the ‘murder mystery in a genteel country home’ set. Our narrator is a friend of the family, who is staying for a few months (no, really!) [...]

A murder mystery set in a girls school – I didn’t even realise it was a Hercules Poirot story as he doesn’t appear until the very end of the book, and it wasn’t on the cover! This is a good work, although a little dated.

Another Agatha Christie book. I am enjoying reading these – I thought that hercules Poirot would annoy me, but he doesn’t – possibly because he doesn’t appear that much in the books, possibly because… he just doesn’t! Poirot is shocked, simply shocked! His ultra efficient secretary has made 3 mistakes in one letter. This is [...]

The Hollow

I think this is my very first Agatha Christie book – certainly I don’t recall reading any others, although I have seen movie versions many times. I enjoyed it very, very much. This is a Hercules Poirot book. The non-spoiler summary is M. Porot has bought a small weekender in the country near a stately [...]
