This is such an outstanding example of when the Poirot books work, they really work. You do get some overly description deductions, but honestly I didn't mind. I recall being floored as anything when the final solution came since I honestly didn't see it coming. Re-reading this for the second time w...
I am so behind with writing reviews that I thought I'd catch up on all my recent Christie mysteries in one. I really enjoyed all three of these to the same extent: neither pretended to be anything than a straight forward murder mystery. There was hardly any social commentary - and none of which I ...
Respectively, these books are numbers 8 & 9, with Peril being published in 1932, followed close at hand by Lord Edgware, which was published in 1934. Also in 1934, she published one of her best known novels, The Murder on the Orient Express. I thoroughly enjoyed both books, and it is difficult t...
M. Poirot is on vacation with his friend, Mr Hastings. On the terrace of their noble hotel they encounter the charming young Miss Buckley. Miss Buckley has been the victim of some unfortunate "accients" and lives in a old mansion with some creepy and mysterious servants, some suspicious tenants an...
I listened to this on audiobook, and it was narrated by Hugh Fraser, the actor who played Hastings in Agatha Christie's Poirot. He was simply an outstanding narrator, and brought the characters of Poirot and Hastings to life. Very well done!Unfortunately, as my friend Dolly notes in her review, th...
Another good entry in the Poirot series by la Christie. I found this a remarkable one, since for the first time I figured out who committed the murder before Poirot did himself (at least, in the story). :-)It strikes me however how very much her storylines rely on the particularities of society so t...
I've listened to this audiobook before but for some reason I didn't have it in my shelves here in GR.Although the mystery was excellent, I felt so bad for the girl that got murdered that I didn't enjoy it as much. Crazy, I know!
Another marvelous work by Christie. Hercule Poirot is the detective in this one. Although he seems stumped through most of the case, he pulls it off in the end. I figured out the murderer and the reason why pretty early compared to most of Christie's book, but it is still fun to see how all the m...
