The Man in the Brown Suit | Agatha Christie
This post contains spoilers

3. We also meet Colonel Race in this novel. Race appears in later books--Cards on the Table, Death on the Nile, and Sparkling Cyanide--when he works alongside his friend Poirot. Interesting we meet him without Poirot! What did you think of Race? Why do you think Christie decided to make him a recurring character in her novels? #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3

willaful Can't waste a perfectly good Colonel. 😂 2d
suvata @willaful 🤣😂🤣😂 2d
suvata I think Christie brings Race back because he‘s so adaptable, slotting into any story, unlike Poirot with his brainy quirks or Miss Marple‘s village life. His adventurous vibe and cool-headed charm let him hop from story to story because he‘s a steady and likable character, but he never hogs the spotlight. (edited) 2d

willaful @suvata makes sense! 2d
TheAromaofBooks @suvata - I totally agree!! Race is such a versatile character. He brings a pile of life experiences, government connections, and a canny brain to the table, all wrapped in a cloak of “strong and silent type“ that keeps him from being painted into a quirky corner. I like that it also gives us this feeling that all Christie's characters coexist 😂 12h
MariaW I was already wondering why my version of the ebook was marked as „Colonel Race #1“. I kept on wondering how he would get away as the villian and why Christie would write more novels about a master criminal. 🙈 Of course I was proved wrong. He is somewhat portrayed as a stereotype British nobleman being entangled in the secret service and because being so taciturn taken as the villian. But again I felt for it. 🙈 6h

1) Not usually. I need to start carrying some so when the revolution begins I can use it to buy stuff before the whole system collapses and it becomes tissue paper.

2)Miss Havisham is rich and she‘s FN nuts! But not rich enough for me to spend the remaining minutes of my life rereading the god awful book she‘s in.

1. Yes, I still carry cash, but not $3000 in cash. IYKYK
2. Some of the characters in this book are wealthy. Some characters are not. Some characters want the world to THINK they are wealthy. Therein lies a great deal of the conflict. #two4tuesday

1. Yes. I feel better knowing I have cash for instances where it‘s cash only, the tech is down and other reasons.

2. There‘s a very wealthy character in the tagged book. His wealth affects him in the first two books in ways different than this one. Love affects him more.

TheSpineView Your answer to #1 reminded me when Helena came through and the cell towers were down and no internet for several days. You had to pay cash everywhere, including the grocery store. 1w

2nd in the Return to Hopewell series featuring Drew and Tamara, who have tight ties to the characters from the first book. I adore this town‘s quirky, meddling residents and I love the way the Trombo and Longfellow families have blended together. This author gave this series a great sense of place and I could easily see myself living in Hopewell. The best part of the story is Buddy the dog, who also played a huge role in the first book.

1) For many this book was nothing new but I recognized that voice in Ciara‘s head and became of that I couldn‘t help but root for her.
2) Meet Cute Diary - way too YA for me; Night & Day - short stories, my nemesis; I also DNF‘d Hester but I might try again. I think it was not the right time for it.

@Eggs

willaful I also DNFd Meet Cute Diary... I found the characters really unpleasant IIRC.

Was that Mrs. Oliphant's Hester?
