I’ve been an Agatha Christie fan for years, but have never read this one. I’ll add it to my list. Thanks, also, for the extra info on the author. Makes the reading even more interesting.

I love hearing the backstory of the book. If I knew that Christie didn’t like the book I would read it looking for reasons why. Glad you enjoyed it.

Well, what does Agatha Christie know about her own books? haha! I’m glad you enjoyed it and this sounds like a neat challenge to read her books in order.

I want to do this challenge on my own this winter (after our roadtrip). I’ve read a few of Dame Agatha’s mysteries years ago, but definitely not all of them. A few years ago I accidentally (in a used book store) got hooked on Ngaio Marsh’s mysteries. I kept looking for all of them every time we visited another store and finally last winter finished reading all of them. I felt sad and deprived when there weren’t any more to look for. She’s quite good too, I believe a contemporary of Agatha. Those were good books back then.

I love the autobio. quote to lead off the post. Thanks for continuing to introduce me to her work – I have yet to read any of them but know that some day I will – inpsired by you!

I can see why Agatha wouldn’t like this one since she wrote it at such a sad time of her life. Your review is great!

How sad to find out your husband is having an affair with a mutual friend. I think if it has to happen, a stranger would be better. And how amazing that she was able to continue to write with all that going on and being so depressed.

I’ve been enjoying your Agatha posts. I know I haven’t read them all, but I like revisiting the familiar ones and following Christie’s career through your eyes.
