Let’s not forget this classic Agatha Christie

I have just finished reading Elephants Can Remember, a classic Poirot mystery by Agatha Christie. I don’t recall having read this one before. It was an engaging story, with the facts/clues presented to the reader giving them lots of opportunity to put the puzzle together and figure out what happened. Christie sometimes holds back clues from the reader, especially in Poirot books, not telling us everything that the Belgian detective has discovered in his investigations, but I think everything relevant had been mentioned in this one. I had a pretty good idea what had happened, though there are enough red herrings to keep me guessing as to which are relevant.

Celebrate Cozy Mystery Day with me!

September 15 is Cozy Mystery Day! Why, you may ask? Because it is Dame Agatha Christie’s birthday, and she is widely regarded as the creator of the cozy mystery. A cozy mystery is generally regarded as a mystery with an amateur sleuth like Miss Marple or Murder She Wrote’s Jessica Fletcher, who uses her wits to solve a mystery before the proper authorities. The genre consists of clean reads (no sex on the page, no blood and gore, no f-bombs) that can be enjoyed by all ages.
