The Poirot kick is winding down...only two left.

Third Girl
Called it!
Poirot showing his age a bit in this one – and Agatha showing hers. (She may not understand the Youth of Today, but she was trying.)

Dead Man’s Folly
Realized a chapter or two in that I’d already read this one in one of the collections I got from the library, but re-read anyway to compare to the Suchet adaptation. Found I prefer Christie’s version.

The Clocks
I feel like this is when Agatha was starting to slip – and she was just plain tired of Poirot. Though I suppose she did managed to work a spy mission into a murder mystery, so she did still have it. Did not guess who did the murder, but did guess the family relations and who was at the center of the spy mission.

Agatha Christie by Lucy Worsley
Got this out from the library to re-read – wondered if it hits differently now that I’ve actually read the books. Some parts do.

I also have quite a bit of non-fiction queued up now that I've (nearly) finished the Poirot tear.
