Peril at End House by Agatha Christie is the second mystery that I figure out! The first one was the previous book I read, Elephants Can Remember. I didn’t expect that at all. I enjoyed the book, but the low rating is because the style…
Elephants Can Remember by Agatha Christie is the first murder mystery by her where I guessed the murderer. I am so impressed by me. While the book is not one of her best in terms of dialogue and some references to elephants are a bit…
A Venetian Reckoning by Donna Leon is the 4th book in the Commissario Brunetti series. I’ve read the first one and I’ve decided to read another one. I think the plot was interesting, but it was unnecessarily dark, especially in relation to his family. I…
Bats in the Belfry by E.C.R. Lorac is the first book I read by this author. It is a murder mystery which has very interesting ideas, like how the body was disposed of. I will not get into details to avoid spoilers. Bruce Attleton is…
Still Life by Louise Penny is the first book in the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache Series. I enjoyed the mystery and the ending was really interesting too. The pace of the book was a bit slow, so I gave it 4 stars for this reason.…

Hallowe’en party by Agatha Christie was a book I saw reviewed on Kelly’s blog and decided to read it in the run-up to Halloween. While the book has very little connection to Halloween, which is a shame, it is still a murder mystery, so suitable…

I read Ordeal by Innocence by Agatha Christie and loved it, before watching the BBC abomination of 2018 ecranisation of the book. If you read the book skip the movie, if you haven’t read the book… skip the movie. It’s embarrassingly bad on so many…
