pickThis was my first exposure to Agatha Christie and boy was I stunned by this brilliant novel. A cruel but calculated murder takes place on the Orient Express and it is up to the protagonist Hercule Poirot to figure out who did it and what could be their motive, all while being cut off from civilisation. The author keeps us playing the guessing game till the very end only to bring in the most jaw dropping plot twist. My rating 5/5.
#FALLISBOOKED - Day Twenty-One #TRICKS A trick used in the theatre points Miss Marple in the direction of the truth to catch a killer.
pickIn one word... Amazing! Couldn‘t be sure till the last page who was/were the culprit..although so many clues but I just couldn‘t guess. All the characters have been portrayed in such likeable fashion that it felt like either it was no one or it could be all of them in it together like a cult or something 😆. #I recommend it #go for it #don‘t go by the negative reviews # it‘s just as good as any of the Agatha‘s
I caught myself starting a new book and had to make myself stop. To be fair, I‘m reading More to the Story with my daughter, Stuart Little with my son, and I‘m just making my way leisurely through the Vonnegut short stories. Open Borders is on NetGalley, Canterville Ghost and The Vampyre are on Serial Reader, Hallowe‘en Party is on my Kindle and Private is an audiobook. Therefore, I should be forgiven for trying to pick up a physical book, right?
Binge reading Agatha Christie 😪 As she rightly quoted, “ Detective novels are escape stories” and what a great way to escape a bad cold and sore throat.. Hercule Poirot says in this book, “ it‘s not flu, it‘s just a bad cold.. people just say they have flu, to gain more sympathy as it sounds more serious 😝”.. what an apt line for me..and what a coincidence that I happened to pick this book up while I have Cold and cough 😪
It was predictable.... but exciting to read whatsoever.. so many mysteries within the mystery ... it was like reading short detective stories in one novel ..🥳
Easily my greatest costume ever. My mom outdid herself considering I was going thru a Nick At Night phase and wanted to be Jeannie from I Dream of Jeannie. 😂🤷🏻♀️🙌🏻 #scarathlon #TeamStoker
