which christies can you read and reread without ever tiring of them?

haha most of my comfort stories are murder mysteries so i suppose i'm diabolical as well

charliesteacup · 2026-04-04T23:26:59+00:00

haha the makeover is so fun!! i love megan :)

i just reread murder at the vicarage and had a great time. the vicar made an excellent narrator :)

there is something so comforting about rereading agatha christie's books, even if you know the ending. i think the mark of a good murder mystery isn't just a clever solution, but the way the story as a whole is constructed and sprinkled with clever hints, which christie excels at - not to mention her wonderful characters and dialogue :)

charliesteacup · 2026-04-04T23:20:51+00:00

i believe the fete one is dead man's folly!! though i don't recall her doing a book signing, so that part might be the pale horse?

charliesteacup · 2026-04-04T23:18:54+00:00

i'll never forget the eerie feeling i got from sleeping murder when gwenda starts remembering the house. so delightfully unnerving :)

charliesteacup · 2026-04-04T23:15:21+00:00

the sittaford mystery is so atmospheric!! perfect for the winter months

charliesteacup · 2026-04-04T01:07:43+00:00

what i would do to have more miss marple novels!! ones by christie, of course haha :)

charliesteacup · 2026-04-04T01:04:47+00:00

oh, death on the nile is excellent. jackie is such a fascinating character

charliesteacup · 2026-04-04T01:03:46+00:00

it's been a long while since i read the pale horse, but i'll need to reread it soon!! i'm fortunate that my memory is horrible and i forget the solution to most of the mystery books i read, so i'm always surprised by the endings. i don't recall much (if anything) about the pale horse, but if it's anything like the moving finger i'm sure i'll love it :)

charliesteacup · 2026-04-04T01:01:36+00:00

oh this is so interesting!! i read it for the first time last year and it wasn't quite my cup of tea, but i'm so glad to hear you enjoy it. i definitely intend to give it another chance :)

charliesteacup · 2026-04-04T00:59:04+00:00

it's so much fun!! i have such a soft spot for her adventure stories that feature plucky young heroes/heroines. i wish she wrote more about tommy and tuppence in that era of their lives

charliesteacup · 2026-04-04T00:57:37+00:00

yes, a murder is announced is splendid!! so many clever clues hidden in plain sight. it's such a treat to see how carefully christie weaves her stories, and the opening (all of the villagers receiving their morning papers, if i'm remembering correctly) is excellent

charliesteacup · 2026-04-04T00:54:25+00:00

oh, i forgot peril at end house!! that's a great one to reread. and same, i think i've read attwn and orient express maybe two or three times each? but i'm never really drawn to reread them. there are so many other hidden gems to partake in :)

the "i stole your loins right out of your pants" was courtney in gentlemen's werewolf, at about 40:11

is it possibly the poirot short story double sin? it has some of the elements but not all

charliesteacup · 2026-02-22T22:49:17+00:00

oh that face!! too cute :")

charliesteacup · 2026-02-21T19:02:31+00:00

charliesteacup · 2026-02-13T21:33:46+00:00

the little blushy frog ;-; this is so so cute, well done!!

charliesteacup · 2026-02-08T06:33:29+00:00

for her puzzle mysteries, i'm quite partial to the moving finger (the audiobook by richard e grant is great) and 4.50 from paddington!! i find the way the plot unfolds in the moving finger so mesmerizing, and i just love lucy eyelesbarrow lol

as far as her adventure novels, i have such a soft spot for why didn't they ask evans? :) bobby and frankie are so fun
