Welcome to Litsy!

#ChristmasCrimeChallenge “Short Stories” 🎅🏻💀🎄🔪

I ❤️ Agatha Christie and it‘s no surprise that I very much enjoyed this collection of Poirot short stories, most of which also featured Hastings.

I‘d seen all but two adapted for TV with David Suchet. The exceptions were “The Lemesurier Inheritance” and “The Market Basing Mystery” which were not filmed as part of the ITV production, though part of their plots were worked in to other episodes.

Earlier this year, I decided I wanted to read all of the Poirot mysteries. I found this list on the Agatha Christie website; as you can see, I‘ve made a good start! Eventually, I‘d like to watch the TV show again. David Suchet‘s portrayal is *exactement* how I imagine the little detective. 💖

It‘s the smart thing to do…

Another Poirot short story collection. It was a nice read: I really love Poirot❤ and there's quite a few interesting problems for him to solve.

My first Agatha Christie complete! I enjoyed my time with Poirot and found him quite endearing...I even guessed the culprit correctly a few times. However so many short stories in one got a bit repetitive. My faves were The King of Clubs, the Cornish Mystery, and the longer Christmas story toward the end. Poirot clearly inspired the Monk series, no? Interesting to see the generational shifts as this was written in the 20‘s! #AuthorAMonth

Treated myself to a new sticker for my stamp pad.

It amuses me as I often feel this way while working from home.

Loving these short stories!!

@Sorceryandswords sorry about the blurry picture but it's the spines you really need to see, so here you go! 😹

Would it be possible to have a photo of your editions too so that I buy the right version too?!

I do like raspberries but I drink coffee instead of tea.

One of my favourite characters is this famous sleuth.
“.. hardly more than 5ft 4in tall..his head was exactly the shape of an egg, and he always perched it a little on one side. The neatness of his attire was almost incredible; I believe a speck of dust would have caused him more pain than a bullet wound.”
He is the only fictional #character to have received an obituary on the front of The New York Times in 1975!

This was a little difficult, but in the end, I knew I had to choose one of my all-time favorite detectives: Hercule Poirot. Thank you, Agatha Christie 😊💖

Am I still on my Agatha Christie binge? But of course, mon ami! Some of these cases were more fun than others (and one exactly recreates the recently reread Mystery on the Blue Train, just set on a different 🚂) but all in all a pleasant romp.

The library came through for me (crazy quickly) with series 3 of Poirot, so I enjoyed a rewatch of Wasps' Nest, featuring Peter Capaldi 😍😍♥️♥️

Netflix removed the first six seasons of Poirot from its library, so I can't continue my Capaldi/Suchet buzz with Wasps' Nest (which aired in Season 3) ☹️
