Poirot Investigates

Image
Author: Agatha Christie Series: Hercules Poirot Mysteries #3 Genre: Mystery, Short Stories Original publication date: 1924 Book description: A short story collection of mysteries and cases Poirot and his friend Hastings solve. Thoughts: First off I am reading the works of Agatha Christie in publication order, I had begun to buy her works in second-hand shops and in amazon when I ran into any of them at a cheap price (yeah I am a cheap person, or just not rich I have to try to downsize my expenses). I have owned this book for a little bit, I bought it last year and yet I had no idea it was a short story collection, pretty funny how that works. This book contains several stories so I'll give just a rating to each one and then do an overall rating for the collection. *The adventure of the western star. A movie star seeks Poirot, she is scared. She received a few letters warning her that she will lose a precious diamond. Another person in England has rumored to have a si...

Autor: Leigh Bardugo 416 pages Genre: YA Fantasy First Published: June 2012 Book Description (from Good Reads):  Surrounded by enemies, the once-great nation of Ravka has been torn in two by the Shadow Fold, a swath of near impenetrable darkness crawling with monsters who feast on human flesh.

Yet nothing in this lavish world is what it seems.

My sister the serial killer

Image
Author : Oyinkan Braithwaite Genre: Mystery, Thriller Original publication date: July 2017 Book description: When Korede's dinner is interrupted one night by a distress call from her sister, Ayoola, she knows what's expected of her: bleach, rubber gloves, nerves of steel and a strong stomach. This'll be the third boyfriend Ayoola's dispatched in, quote, self-defence and the third mess that her lethal little sibling has left Korede to clear away. She should probably go to the police for the good of the menfolk of Nigeria, but she loves her sister and, as they say, family always comes first. Until, that is, Ayoola starts dating the doctor where Korede works as a nurse. Korede's long been in love with him, and isn't prepared to see him wind up with a knife in his back: but to save one would mean sacrificing the other. Thoughts: It was a disappointment because I had such different expectations for how this would go or the nature of the relationship between...

The Mark of Athena

Image
Author: Rick Riordan  Genre: YA Fantasy Original Publication date: October 2012 Book description:  Annabeth is terrified. Just when she's about to be reunited with Percy—after six months of being apart, thanks to Hera—it looks like Camp Jupiter is preparing for war. As Annabeth and her friends Jason, Piper, and Leo fly in on the Argo II, she can't blame the Roman demigods for thinking the ship is a Greek weapon. With its steaming bronze dragon figurehead, Leo's fantastical creation doesn't appear friendly. Annabeth hopes that the sight of their praetor Jason on deck will reassure the Romans that the visitors from Camp Half-Blood are coming in peace. And that's only one of her worries. In her pocket, Annabeth carries a gift from her mother that came with an unnerving command: Follow the Mark of Athena. Avenge me. Annabeth already feels weighed down by the prophecy that will send seven demigods on a quest to find—and close—the Doors of Death. What more does Athe...
