I first read this for Halloween Bingo back in 2017. This is also the only Agatha Christie book in which I figured out who...okay, I guess I shouldn't say figured out. It was more like I thought, "Hey, I wonder if it could be 'so-and-so'?" I just had this nagging suspicion, but I couldn't quite say w...
"Crooked House" is the first Agatha Christie standalone novel I've read. I've been pleasantly surprised by how fresh and simple the humour in this book is. The writing feels relaxed and confident as if Agatha Christie is enjoying the people she's writing about rather than working to set up a plot. ...
I can see why this was one of Christie's own favorite novels; it is, in the end, as much about writing a mystery as it is about the mystery itself. It's also one of the few of her novels where I've had a suspicion about the murderer's identity before it was revealed (I'm normally easy to fool, ha...

I checked this BBC Adaptation of from my library because I was in a hurry and it said "unabridged", but it has to be abridged somehow. It was only 1 hour and 45 minutes long?

This ranks right up there with my favorite Christie novels (not that I've read all that many). This, despite the fact that for the first time while reading one of her books, I managed to work out who the killer was before the big reveal.
Honestly I don't have that much to say here besides the fact that I really really love this book. This was one of Agatha Christie's favorite books and I can see why. There are a lot of twists and turns and I thought I figured out the perpetrator, but per usual, I was wrong. "Crooked House" fol...
Pretty typical Christie, with maybe a slightly larger emphasis on the psychological details. It’s one that I both enjoy and argue with in my head a lot. Hugh Fraser read the audiobook and I would really just like for him to read all of the audiobooks for everything. He’s great with voices and narrat...
