Reading the Detectives discussion

As there are 6 Miss Marple books left, we have decided to continue our Poirot/Marple Challenge for one more year. We hope you will approve. Below is a list of the books we are planning to read. Let me know any errors or comments before I put the challenge up later in the year.

Jan: Poirot: Peril at End House (1932)
Feb: Marple: A Pocket Full of Rye (1953)
March: Poirot: Lord Edgware Dies (1933)
April: Marple: 4:50 from Paddington (1957)
May: Poirot: Murder on the Orient Express (1934)
June: Marple: The Mirror Crack’d from Side to Side (1961)
July: Poirot: Three Act Tragedy (1934)
August: Marple: A Caribbean Mystery (1964)
September: Poirot: Death in the Clouds (1935)
October: Marple: At Bertram’s Hotel (1965)
November: Poirot: The ABC Murders (1936)

Terrific! Some of my very favorite Poirot and Marple mysteries to look forward to, yay!

whoohoo!

Thank you so much for planning the challenge, Susan. Looks great!

Some BIG Poirot titles in there too.

Oooh, I know, can’t wait!

Good to hear, although we do need to think of something else for 2027. I know, but time passes so quickly!

True!

I will join in for a couple of these reads. I want to get back to Christie!

That's good to hear, Carol!

Sounds good

I am so glad-I've really enjoyed the chance to revisit old favourites in order of publication to see how the characters develop (even if there is no overarching story arc for the detectives as occurs in so many other series).
