When a number of leading scientists disappear without a trace, concern grows within the international intelligence community. And the one woman who appears to hold the key to the mystery is dying from injuries sustained in a plane crash. Meanwhile, in a Casablanca hotel room, Hilary Craven prepares to take her own life. But her suicide attempt is about to be interrupted by a man who will offer her an altogether more thrilling way to die. . . .

I liked this one (another that hasn‘t been adapted). It was weird but interesting. One of Christie‘s attempts at spy adventures. TW for suicide attempt in the beginning. Involves a lot of travel, lying, & a creepy community. 3/5 stars

🤯🤯 This one was fun! Lots of twists and turns and tons of different characters. There is even a character list in the front! Very different from AC‘s usual stories, but still has a great couple of twists at the end! I enjoyed it and liked the characters. The political stuff got a little hard to keep track of, but kinda the point: who do u trust? I loved the ending! Great pick for #lmpbc 😊

katy4peas Lots of fun quotes that are still timely and made me snort with laughter or roll my eyes. So many that made me snort because our former so called president acted the same way. But that‘s all I‘ll say about that. 🤣😉 3y
katy4peas @DGRachel where do you get your envelopes? And what size? They survive the mail really well! 3y
DGRachel @katy4peas Was it the purple bubble mailer? I bought a pack of 10 on Amazon last year. They are ProLine metallic purple bubble mailers 6.5 x 10 inch, self seal. Currently $7 for the 10 pack. It comes in other pack counts, too. 3y
katy4peas @DGRachel yes! Oh, thanks!! 📬 3y

One must have common sense. Nothing is permanent, nothing ensures. I have come to the conclusion that this place is run by a madman. A madman, let me tell you, can be very logical. If you are rich and logical and also mad, you can succeed for a very long time in living out your illusion. But in the end- this will break up. Because it is not reasonable, what happens here! That which is not reasonable must always pay the reckoning in the end.

This one has some fun plot twists in it. All I can think of right now is Hotel California. 🎶🎵

I‘m going to round up to a pick for this one. It‘s very different from Christie‘s other work, but still fun. It‘s equal parts entertaining and ridiculous. I won‘t say more here because it is a #LMPBC selection, but I‘ll put my one quibble in the comments under a spoiler as it‘s the element that almost pushes it into a so-so for me.

DGRachel The last three pages have one of those classic, cheesy, romance endings you get in Golden Age Hollywood films. The misunderstanding, the confession of love that can‘t possibly be returned, but OH! It is. I swear, I could see Andrew/Boris clutch Hilary to his chest and passionately kiss her as I rolled my eyes. 🤣 3y

Since subcontractors are starting to get nasty with me after a peaceful morning, I‘m taking a “lunch” break on my deck with my LMPBC book and enjoying the last of the mild weather we‘ll see for a while. (And yes, Bailey‘s wandering the yard below the deck) 💖

This book was more espionage than murder and had some quality spy hijinks happening with missing scientists, plastic surgery, and a Communist compound in the desert.

Finished another book today! I‘m on a roll here! This my #DoubleSpin book for June and my #ReadYourSign book for #2 - published in 1954, and #12 Virgo author, Agatha Christie. This book was fun to listen to. I really felt as though I was back in time. The audiobook was well done. The characters were distinguished from one another and the acting was good, I thought. Agatha Christie can weave a tale, can‘t she?

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 4y

JaneyWaneyB @Chrissyreadit agree with you loose tea at a tea shop but bags at home because it's easier to clear up 😆 5y

-"You think that human nature is the same everywhere?" Hilary asked.
-"In every country. In the past as in the present there are always the two things that rule. Cruelty and benevolence! One or the other. Sometimes both."

MaggieCarr I've never seen another Sak. How do you care for yours? Mine is lighting in color and dry. At one point, I actually rubbed lotion into it. 5y
BekaReid @MaggieCarr I've had this bag for over 2 years now and use it all the time. It's held up extremely well and while it has lightened just a bit, it is still soft. Have you tried a leather conditioner? I have not needed one, but I've read they can be effective. 5y

Mehso-so

Read this oldie for my Christie book club‘s May pick. It was classic Christie but felt very dated for a spy novel. The villain was hardly scary and the intrigue predictable and somewhat child-like. I really am a Christie fan! But her plots have never impressed me much. Without interesting characters this book left me wanting to be done with it quickly. The audiobook narration was superb though. So give it a listen for a quick and easy read.

PS: did you know that the modern versions of Clue have NO LIBRARY?!?!?!?! Why would you go to a dinner party at a creepy old mansion if there wasn't the promise of an awesome old library?

PPS: If you haven't seen the amazingness that is the movie Clue, drop everything and watch it NOW.

charissharpe That's just bizarre! 7y
