Poirot is approached by a girl who admits she thinks she murdered someone, but disappears before he gets any more info. He must track her down without her name or any idea of who was killed. Ariadne Oliver comes along for the ride in this one which was fun. Although some circumstances seemed coincidental overall this was an interesting mystery to solve.

Loved this Christie. So funny to hear all the talk about the “dirty artists”, you could definitely tell it was from the 60s. she handled it in more of a funny, c/m charming way and wasn‘t ugly about it-Poirot was getting kinder in his old age. This one held up, really enjoyed it and great on #audio. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This Hercule Poirot story is a low pick for me. It's not among my favourite Agatha Christie works, but it does have some very surprising twists and it features Ariadne Oliver, a character that I always enjoy.

kwmg40 @AnnR It's not terrible, but there are so many really good Poirots that you could go for one of the others and leave this for later. 5mo

I enjoyed this story a little more than the previous two, mainly because Poirot is in it from the beginning & Ariadne Oliver is always a great character. A slow book, this spends a lot time on the characters, no murder for most of the book. I also didn‘t guess the ending at all on this one.

A young woman confesses that she thinks she may have committed a murder, then vanishes, leaving Christie's legendary sleuth Poirot desperate to find her and to figure out just exactly how one could not know whether they were a killer or not.

This was a little slower than some of Christie's other tales, but is good nonetheless. This slow burner presents a complex mystery where reality is subjective and not everything is as it seems.

Not one of the better Poirot mysteries, IMO, but I did like the presence of Ariadne Oliver and Hugh Fraser's audiobook narration.

My final book of 2019 was this Agatha Christie. A good mystery but not one of her best in my opinion. The wrap up of the loose ends took a couple of unnecessary steps that made me cringe a little.

Background for this photo is a swan plant in full bloom. My dad gets a ton of monarch butterflies on these plants every summer 🐛🐛🦋🦋🦋

Dolly Thanks for identifying the plant. I‘m always curious. 🤗 Cool fluffy bits. 4y

I‘m reading by whim at the moment from my shelves - I‘ve already got my book pile ready for my holiday the following week, I‘m kind of ignoring my 2020 list of books until then!

Part way through an Agatha Christie novel and the Tudor Christmas book and then I think I‘ll dive into Olive Kitteridge and maybe start Pachinko. #bookseveryoneelsebutmehasread

Not a favourite of AC but doable. Quite confusing especially when Poirot was trying to decipher his thoughts to conclude the mystery. In the end, it‘s an unexpected outcome 😅

@jenniferw88 the paperbacks here are the 125th anniversary editions with the photographic covers. The facsimile editions are these cute vintage looking hardbacks like Halloween Party. ☺️👌🏻#achristieswapisannounced

Sophoclessweetheart @jenniferw88 Not at all so long as they‘re in very good to like new condition. I once had a severe case of bookworm due to secondhand books and lost almost my whole library, I‘ve been paranoid ever since 🖤🖤👀 6y

I got to go to one of the most amazing bookstores today in Venice, Libreria Acqua Alta! Because of previous flooding, the owner has the books in bathtubs and gondolas and stacked up to the ceiling. It‘s incredible! The perfect way to spend my last day in Italy.

#OldCoolBooks #day14 #Whodunit The queen of the whodunit is definitely Dame Agatha.Her main characters Hercule Poirot & Miss Marple have been the inspiration for so many writers since.She‘s in Guinness World Records as the bestselling author of all time, over 2 Billion copies sold & her play The Mousetrap is the longest running play in history. These books are my editions of Christie Crime Collection from the 80s. I‘m still hunting for more🕵🏻‍♀️

BookNerd9906 Wow! Interesting. I didn‘t know that, but I love that best selling author of all time is a woman! 6y
Linsy Oooh, I‘m jealous! I would love to own some older Christie‘s! Have you tried any of her Tommy & Tuppence? They‘re my recent obsession. 💗 6y

Hercule Poirot and Ariadne Oliver. Technically not a "couple" couple, and I believe that Oliver only appears in a handful of books, but I really enjoy them as a team that I wish Christie had written a whole subseries of books about them ?️‍♂️?️‍♀️

batsy @LeahBergen I reread it a year ago and was surprised by how much more I liked it now! And I think I prefer Ariadne in the books, but it's been awhile since I watched one of these, so I guess I know what my weekend plans are 😆 6y
Centique Right. I‘m getting the first one of this pairing from the library. Can‘t believe I haven‘t read these! 😍 6y

Today is a perfect day for eating bonbons and reading about murder. My Agatha Christie binge continues with this most 60s of stories, full of mods, drugs, beatniks and Beatles-- and Hercule Poirot, of course!

Here are a few of my books with #girlinthetitle. I found an article about why so many books have girl in the title and it explained that it potentially "hints at a vulnerability that raises the stakes" (www.motto.time.com/4551310/girl-book-titles/) #readjanuary

Mccall0113 What did you think about The girl with all the gifts ? 7y
MMFinck I agree with that! Side note - I just did an interview with a top literary agent this week and she said that she thinks "The Girl who/on/with" trend is ending or over. I wonder if she's right. (edited) 7y

TBT to my 2ndhand old crime collection Agatha Christie set. She was the first ever 'adult' crime writer I read when I was a child, I still break them out and reread on a regular basis. Her and Arthur Conan Doyle were my intro to a lifelong love of crime & mystery.🕵🏻🔪🔫
