pickI got slightly confused and read November's #ChristieCapers book instead of October's 😂 I love Tommy and Tuppence, and the concept here is fun. However, this one always falls a little flat for me because I'm just not familiar enough with the classic detectives Christie references throughout the book. Still, some of the mysteries are quite good, and I do love the way Christie spoofs Hercule Poirot at the end.
so-soDuring a Halloween party, one of the children 13-year-old Joyce, declares that she saw a murder committed once. No-one believes her, but later that evening she is found drowned in a tub of apples. Author Ariadne Oliver calls in close friend, Hercule Poirot, to find the killer.
This one is a bit of a dog's dinner. For a start, I can't stand Ariadne Oliver, in fact she makes me think of Hastings quite fondly. (continued)

I haven‘t started this book yet for #christiescapers. My mom adopted a 1 year old puppy from the animal shelter and he‘s been interrupting my reading time because he wants to play and he wants to be loved on a lot. He‘s a very sweet and loving puppy. He wants to kiss us and be petted. He‘s 42 lbs and wants to be a lap dog. The shelter doesn‘t know his history and we don‘t know his history but the shelter thinks he might be 1 and a half yrs old.

pickReally enjoyed this book- the characters, the sense of humor, the adventure. Sad to her Christie‘s female main character, Bundle does not reappear in any of her books again. She is strong willed, intelligent, adventurous, self possessed. #christieCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
so-so@Librarybelle First published in 1928. BLUE TRAIN offers readers the classic ingredients of a Christie mystery—an exotic setting, a glamorous cast of characters, and a puzzling murder—but it‘s one of her more uneven works, which is why I'm a month late finishing it with the #ChristiesCapers group. The plot takes a while to build momentum. Much of the first third is setup, and the murder itself occurs relatively late. ⬇️
