So far, Agatha Christie's writing isn't doing much for me, but I will admit, I was utterly delighted to discover that Poirot actually does usher everyone into a drawing room to dramatically reveal the murderer

#On at least one occasion #It's a stereotype of detective fiction but I assumed that- like the butler did it- it was very rare in the wild #I am happy to report however that Poirot IS just that dramatic #reading log #I mean Christie's writing isn't bad either let's be clear #It's just not exciting me very much- I'm really not a detective novel fanatic #I tend to choose to read them as much because they're a good book and offer interesting characters working as a team #I'm not fussed about murder or mystery-solving in itself so at best I can only partly enjoy pure detective fiction #I'm giving Christie the chance though I realise her earlier novels won't necessarily be her best #I'm going to try at least three before I jettison them for another day #It just feels like a lot more work than books that I'm reading purely for entertainment should be
