Reading Wednesday (2 weeks worth)

Forgot to post last week...

The Poirot kick continues.

Dumb Witness by Agatha Christie
Feels like Christie had been reading some Sherlock Holmes – ‘the curious incident of the dog in the night’. Half right on this one – got who fiddled with the will, but not who killed the old lady.

Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie
Christie at her best – easy to see why it’s been made into movies. It’s got everything. Love, romance, foreign locale, Englishness (school ties feature), Poirot matchmaking…

Poirot’s Early Cases by Agatha Christie
Short story collection – makes it easy to read in small chunks. (Also gives me quite a few of the David Suchet adaptations to catch up on!)

Evil Under The Sun by Agatha Christie
Christie really has it in for good looking women - as soon as she introduces one, you know the woman is either about to be a murder victim or murderer. This time she's the victim. Nearly everyone could have done it. Christie didn't play entirely fair with motives, but you could work out who.

The Eternal City: A History of Rome in Maps by Jessica Maier
Exactly what it says, and pretty enough that I got my own copy.
