Review: Beastly Bones by William Ritter

So, I wasn't lying when I said I ordered the second book in the series immediately after finishing Jackaby. In 1892, New Fiddleham, New England, things are never quite what they seem, especially when Abigail Rook and her eccentric employer, R. F. Jackaby, are called upon to investigate the supernatural. First, members of a particularly…

Review: Miss Silver Comes to Stay by Patricia Wentworth

I was so absorbed by my goal to read all the Poirot books, that I completely forgot about Miss Silver. Shame on me!!! When James Lessiter returns to Lenton after many years to claim his family estate, his reappearance opens old wounds never healed. Then he is found bludgeoned to death by a fire poker…

Review: Peril at End House by Agatha Christie

I might have complained about the Big Four, but this Poirot really redeemed itself!! But before I go on about how amazing this book is, I'll explain what it's about. Nick Buckley was an unusual name for a pretty young woman. But then she had led an unusual life. First, on a treacherous Cornish hillside,…

Review: the Big Four by Agatha Christie

As we all know, I love Poirot, and my goal is to read them all this year! A few weeks ago I read the Big Four, and was it as good as the others? Framed in the doorway of Poirot's bedroom stood an uninvited guest, coated from head to foot in dust. The man's gaunt…

Review: Hickory Dickory Dock by Agatha Christie

I've been going strong with my resolution to read all of the Poirot Books this year! What I've noticed so far, is that not all the Poirot books are of the same amazing quality, some are a bit boring or predictable (ahum the murder of Roger Ackroyd ahum) and others are actually quite amazing. In what…

Review: Dead Man’s Folly by Agatha Christie

So, if you have read my Reading Goals for 2017 post, you may have noticed that one of my goals is to read all the Poirot books. Some of you might wonder as to why, but Dead Man's Folly is one of the many reasons why. Sir George and Lady Stubbs, the hosts of a…

Book Review: the Adventure of the Six Napoleons and Other Cases by Arthur Conan Doyle

Oh Sherlock Holmes, how I love thee. I have watched several adaptions of it and I have read some of the books, but I have never heard of the stories in this book! This book is a short story collection about our beloved Holmes and Watson. The stories aren't in chronological order, so I recommend…

Review: Whose Body? by Dorothy L. Sayers

This was my very first Lord Peter Wimsey book, and this is the book that made me fall in love with him and the entire world he lives in. I mean, how does this synopsis not intrigue you??? The story is really funny and keeps you engaged until the end. The book isn't too big,…
