Welcome to Litsy!

Meh. One of my least favorite of Christie‘s works so far.
Hastings was especially annoying in these stories.
I mostly listened to the audio while knitting Estella, my emotional support chicken, seen here with the paperback, so it was worth it.
I got laid off last month & am having a hard time finding a new job. Thankfully I have books & hobbies to keep me from falling too far into depression. #christiescapers #agathachristieclubr3 #audioknitting

I haven‘t started reading this month‘s book yet. I saw this on my Instagram feed, reposted it to my Instagram account and wanted to share it with everyone participating in #christiescapers because I thought it was cool to see. I didn‘t know there was an Agatha Christie statue.

I would not recommend this book as a first one to read of Christie's; it is clearly not her best. The novel's origin as a short story collection is glaringly obvious. The narrative feels fragmented, jumping from one escapade to the next without the seamless plot construction Christie is renowned for. Also, there is no central puzzle for the reader to solve. The clues are not laid out for the armchair detective; ⬇️

Hope to get back into #christiescapers with September‘s #bookspin pick.

I‘ve noticed recently when listening to these Agatha Christie books on Audible that Richard Armitage stopped narrating them. He only narrated a few of them and then he stopped. Now the only narrator I‘m listening to is Hugh Fraser. Hugh Fraser has a nice voice but I got used to listening to Richard Armitage. I miss Richard Armitage‘s voice. I wish he would‘ve continued narrating these stories.
