Breakneck pacing but this is SO entertaining and different from any Christie I’ve read so far

Genuinely don’t know where this is going but I feel like everyone’s in on it except the valet who was reading a romance novel

Also it might be more fun to read murder mysteries with unsympathetic victims??

Personally if I was arriving at a location or mode of transportation and I saw Poirot was there I would immediately leave

The number of murders which have occurred after he was already at a place is just statistically improbable

Do NOT recommend starting this book or reading Chapter 1, What Would Happen If . . .
You Were in an Airplane and Your Window Popped Out?, right before you take off on a flight.

Otherwise a pretty gruesome but interesting read so far.

Reading through this section with mounting dread

Decided to give this a reread (re-listen?) after about 15 years and I forgot how hilariously wild this book was

One of the scariest books I’ve read in a long time

I love how dickensian this is

(I say while reading something Dickens wrote)

This has writing so good it’s actually making me want to visit Ontario

Absolutely insane plot development; don't know how this hasn't blown up on booktok or something

I am loving this but I had to switch editions because what in the 80s was that cover???

MWT is such a master of restraint that a character calling someone they love by their first name can make me gasp aloud

I think Sophos finally telling everyone to shut up is truly the most satisfying moment of this entire book

Oops rereading this I guess

This entire book is a prequel to a novel he NEVER wrote?????
WHAT DO YOU MEAN???

Would not recommend starting this unless you are immediately ready to be sad for dog

I forgot that I can get serious second-hand stress from an Austen book — is that how you know she’s a master?

Also, if I was Fanny I fear that I would simply resort to VIOLENCE if harassed like this

Someone get this poor girl a restraining warrant

Started reading this in its entirety as well so it’s going on the list!
Really like how much actual camping advice they have in here; I thought it’d be just recipes but it’s a lot more practical

I can’t properly explain how cool this scene was but Sidney unlocks his highly competent persona after downing that brandy

Also Jerry really said “But enough about that” after making a claim like THAT 💀

There are too many pages left (ominous)

Legitimately wondering if Dickens wrote this just to dunk on the French

Also, this is a terrible plan, Charles!

Every time someone complains that this book isn’t “romantic” or “fun” I can hear Jane Austen shouting from her grave about the long lasting psychological effects of CHILD ABUSE

On a completely unrelated note, I want to throw a chair at Mrs. Norris

Yes, I have been reading every page of this

This plot has me audibly gasping like some Victorian lady

Also, I fear knitting has never looked so hardcore

Sydney Carton is the epitome of Sad Boy Hours

RIP Jane Austen you would have loved to hate on theater kids 😔

I actually recommend reading this before you bake anything because I was not prepared for the yields on some of these historic recipes
Makes: 18 dozen cookies

I would like to both thank the library for getting another one of these and also apologize to them because I will be keeping this for an entire year

Freaking scurvy, man
