2008: #87 – The Mysterious Affair at Styles (Agatha Christie)

October 5, 2008May 22, 2020 1 Comment
The Mysterious Affair at Styles by

Book #87 was The Mysterious Affair at Styles, the first Hercule Poirot novel by Agatha Christie. Another book that I can’t really review because really? What can you say about a master like Christie? I think what I like best about Poirot is not just that so much of what he detects is based on observation, but that he has a real soft spot for

2005: #67 – Hell at the Breech (Tom Franklin)

February 7, 2005January 14, 2021

My commute for work is approximately 80 minutes a day. Because of this, I’ve been partaking in audio books to pass the time. Which has led to book number 4 being the first book in Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events — The Bad Beginning. One of the first things you hear in this book is that there is no happy ending, there is
