Mystery Lover...but overall a very eclectic reader. Will read everything from the classics to historical fiction. Biography to essays. Not into horror or much into YA. If you would like me to review a book, then please see my stated review policy BEFORE emailing me. Please Note: This is a book blog. It is not a platform for advertising. Please do NOT contact me to ask that I promote your NON-book websites or products. Thank you.

Another Candle
Sped through Agatha Christie's Hallowe'en Party. I love reading Dame Agatha....she's quick, fun, and always manages to trip me up--even when I re-read one that I've done in the past. If I happen to figure out (or remember) who, I still won't quite manage to get the why. She's quite good for a quiet lunch hour's read--that would be how I managed to buzz through this one--not a lot of deep thinking necessary, but still enjoyable. And, I like Hercule Poroit and his mustaches and little grey cells.
Hallowe'en Party revolves around the seemingly senseless murder of a young girl at a neighborhood Halloween Party. Is it just a random killing or did she really (as she boasted earlier that day) witness a murder that now has to be hushed up. Everyone says that the girl is liar....was she lying this time? Dame Agatha, as usual, takes what you think and gives it her own special twist. Three and a half stars our of five.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.
If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
