75 in ’13: Hallow’en Party
For the sixty-third book in the challenge, I read Hallowe’en Party by Agatha Christie, the thirty-sixth book in the Hercule Poirot series (according to GoodReads, anyway). This is a short story, and Hastings is off gallivanting elsewhere, so we see … Continue reading
75 in ’13: Murder on the Orient Express
For the forty-fifth book in the challenge, I read Murder on the Orient Express (Poirot #10) by Agatha Christie. What a classic! This book has always gotten more attention than her other books, and for good reason. This isn’t … Continue reading
75 in ’13: Lord Edgeware Dies
For the forty-third book, I read Lord Edgeware Dies (Poirot #9) by Agatha Christie. They could also have called it, “don’t tell people you’re going to kill your husband who won’t divorce you because he’s a douchebag, just in … Continue reading

For the thirteenth book in the challenge, I read <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/483103.The_Seven_Dials_Mystery” target=”new”>The Seven Dials Mystery</a> by Agatha Christie. If you’re new to Christie’s books, I wouldn’t pick up this one first. It isn’t a very good representation of her … Continue reading
75 in ’13: The Sittaford Mystery
For the eleventh book in the challenge, I read The Sittaford Mystery by Agatha Christie. This book has neither of her two most famous detectives, but instead relies on another young woman to try her amateur hand at detecting. Emily … Continue reading
75 in ’13: The Mystery of the Blue Train
For the sixth book in the challenge, I read The Mystery of the Blue Train by Agatha Christie, part of her Hercule Poirot series. Now, I’ve read quite a few Poirot novels by this point, and after we get into … Continue reading
52 in 1: A Murder Is Announced
For week 51, I read A Murder Is Announced, by Agatha Christie. This is another of Christie’s classic mysteries that turns into a not-so-classic mystery somewhere in the middle-ish bit, while you’re trying to figure out why people are still … Continue reading
