Sparkling Cyanide | Agatha Christie

Iris Marle was thinking about her sister, Rosemary.
For nearly a year she had deliberately tried to put the thought of Rosemary away from her. She hadn‘t wanted to remember.

I am going to miss this one. I truly enjoyed the characters; especially Anne. It's a shame we won't see her again in future mysteries. This one definitely had some interesting twists. A very fun read.

You could probably guess from the start who did it. But the how of getting there was smart and delicious.

Thanks for the tags, @TheSpineView and @peaKnit 😍😍

1. THE MAN IN THE BROWN SUIT; I'm loving the different detectives besides Poirot and Maple in these Christie books! @Librarybelle #ChristiesCapers
2. I loved RUTH and CRANFORD by Elizabeth Gaskell, so I am thoroughly looking forward to WIVES AND DAUGHTERS starting in June with the #hashtagbrigade led by @BarkingMadRead

All are invited to share! 🤩

TheSpineView YW! Thanks for playing! 7mo

Librarybelle Yay! 7mo

#ChristiesCapers @Librarybelle
Having overextended myself with buddy reads, I finally finished this one. This novel introduces readers to Anne Beddingfeld, a spirited young woman who becomes entangled in an international mystery after witnessing a suspicious death in the London Underground. The novel moves beyond the confines of the English countryside to take readers to South Africa. ⬇️

dabbe Written in 1924, some depictions of race, colonialism, and gender roles reflect dated and racist/gender attitudes. Though not one of her best works, it does showcase her versatility as a storyteller and her early experimentation with different genres. Readers looking for a light, engaging mystery with a dash of romance and travel will likely enjoy this novel, though those seeking the deductive rigor of Poirot or Marple may find it less satisfying. 8mo

Librarybelle Great review! 8mo

rwmg And surfing! Apparently Agatha Christie was a keen surfer. Since growing up I'd always associated surfing with the Beach Boys in the 1960s I was duky discombobulated by this. 8mo

dabbe @Librarybelle TY! 🤩💜🤩 8mo

dabbe @rwmg Who knew, right? 🤩🤣🤩 8mo

The Man in the Brown Suit | Agatha Christie

so-so

I‘m so conflicted about this one. I really liked the mystery and its twists and turns. I enjoyed the intrigue on the boat. I really liked Anne, Suzanne, and Colonel Race. But I hated Sir Eustace and I wasn‘t a fan of Harry. The colonialism and casual racism of the South African backdrop + the overt sexism/objectification of women really bothered me. I had a really hard time setting aside those latter elements with excuses of it being ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …“of its time” or tongue in cheek, so ultimately all of that overshadowed my enjoyment of the plot and the strong female characters… and the book overall.

#ChristiesCapers @Librarybelle This was also my 1924 pick for #192025. 8mo

Ruthiella Great photo! 🤩 Her espionage themed books like this one aren‘t my favorites. 8mo

Librarybelle That is a cool photo! 8mo

BarbaraJean @librarybelle The cover of this library copy was so boring that it prompted me to get creative! @Ruthiella I've felt the same way about Christie's espionage books so far, but for reasons that feel unrelated to the espionage elements! 😆 8mo
