“Elephants can remember, but we are human beings and mercifully human beings can forget.” My first Christie of 2017. It took me a few attempts to get into the story, not because it was difficult to find a way to engage with the plot but purely because I enjoyed re-reading the opening of the story w...

What can I say. This was my favorite Poirot book in some time (the last one being Death on the Nile) and everything worked wonderfully throughout.Mrs. Ariadne Oliver, mystery writer, is approached by an older woman (Mrs. Burton-Cox) at a luncheon about her goddaughter's (Celia Ravenscroft) possible ...

4,5*I bought this book for only €1,- and since most reviews on here weren't too positive, I did not expect much from this story when I started reading it. That said, my low expectations weren't at all needed: I enjoyed this story MUCH more than I thought I would. I did not find this book cheesy at a...

Elephants can Remember is not Agatha Christie's best book. It's a little predictable, the mystery isn't all that difficult to piece together, and the characters aren't particularly interesting.I listened to the audiobook version which was narrated by Hugh Fraser, and he was an excellent narrator.

What I Happen to Be Reading At the Moment
Elephants Can Remember isn't really a Poirot mystery. He does make several appearances and advises Mrs. Oliver on how to go about her investigation, but for most of the novel we follow Ariadne Oliver discovering a past mystery and going in search of answers. These answers come in the form of "elepha...

Dintotdeauna mi-au plăcut romanele poliţiste, mai ales cele ale Agathei Christie. Aşa se face că m-am înscris pe un blog la un concurs Agatha Christie şi am câştigat romanul "Elefanţii nu uită niciodată", de care m-am apucat de îndată şi l-am şi terminat de citit în scurt timp. Cu această ocazie, îi...
