pick16 hours in and I just finished reading 9 hours. Over 700 pages read and some great books! Passenger to Frankfurt is not for everyone but I really enjoyed it. It is NOT a murder mystery. It is a spy novel with lots of politics. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pretty decent time for day one of #24in48 , I think. I‘ve started on this Christie novel and hope to get at least 2 more hours in tonight.
so-soI felt it was an average who-done-it novel. It is easy to read and follow for the most part. There were a lot of characters to keep track of. It has enough mystery and thrill to keep the reader entertained from start to finish but I didn‘t enjoy it as much as I thought I would.
so-soI wasn‘t entirely happy with the way the mystery was resolved: I have questions as to whether or not Agatha Christie gave the reader enough to figure it out it and whether the rather melodramatic cloak-and-dagger aspects rang true. For right now, I‘m giving this a 3.75/5.0 rating and, shelving it for a future re-read— at which point it may warrant a ratings upgrade 🚂
pickIt‘s impossible for me to dislike a Christie novel! Although I didn‘t enjoy the setting or the cast of characters as much as other Poirot mysteries I‘ve read, I still flew through this. So many sneaky little clues and hidden details that contribute to the solving of the murder.
Really enjoyed being introduced to the funny & clever little man and his signature mustache!

I have a soft spot for Agatha Christie-novels. My father‘s cousin left me her collection of all of Ms Christie‘s novels. They are old and not political correct at all, but they are the epitome of holiday reading to me 😀☀️😎📚#agathachristie #missmarple #holidayreading #summer
Today‘s lunch menu:
Baked chimichangas & a Christie book!
Started the audiobook of Poirot #1. So much more fun to hear someone narrate this mystery with all the right accents!
Side note: The picture is from the Skinnytaste recipe I used to make my meal (my chimis didn‘t turn out as pretty, but tasted delish!). Recipe link below ⬇️
