Review - I am up to readdddddd anything involving THE INHERITANCE GAMES universe. I love the series so very much. And I was really so excited to get to read Grayson and Jameson's book. Even though I liked the mystery, the riddles and secrets, family dynamics or chemistry between Avery and Jameson I felt very disappointed by THE BROTHERS HAWTHORNE.

First offffff!!!! the magic of the series, the spark was missing, many important fun characters like Libby, Max, Alisa, Rebecca, Thea, or even Oren, Nash and Xander (who were present) were missing.

If there is fifth book or any book in the future plzzzzzzzzz let all the characters be backkkkk. (fingers crossed 😃)

Gigi and Savannah are really are fun addition to the books.

I liked it, didn't love it .

Review:

It took me a while to finish this. I took a long break in between because some were good and some were super weird and a bit of a slog to get through. I said it once, and I'll say it again. It's interesting to see what's popular out there.

Unraveling Secrets: A Review of Agatha Christie’s After the Funeral – A Classic Poirot Mystery

If you’re on the hunt for a classic mystery with a perfect blend of suspense and psychological depth, look no further than After the Funeral by Agatha Christie. Originally published in 1953, this Hercule Poirot novel showcases the Queen of Crime at her finest, delivering a story that is as intriguing as it is unpredictable.

The plot kicks off with the death of Richard Abernethie, the wealthy patriarch of the Abernethie family. While his death is initially deemed natural, his sister, Cora Lansquenet, casually suggests during the funeral that it might have been murder. The very next day, Cora is found brutally murdered, and suddenly, the question of Richard’s death demands a closer look. Enter Hercule Poirot, whose task is to untangle a web of family secrets, lies, and motives.

Christie’s mastery lies in her ability to create a complex puzzle that keeps the reader guessing until the very end. Every character is suspicious, and the old English country house setting adds a layer of atmospheric tension that pulls you right into the story. As Poirot delves deeper, the plot reveals itself to be not just about solving a crime, but about understanding the darker sides of human nature—greed, jealousy, and betrayal.

What makes After the Funeral particularly standout is its rich character development. Christie doesn’t just give us a mystery; she provides a window into the souls of her characters, making the narrative as psychologically compelling as it is suspenseful. The climax is classic Christie—a surprising, satisfying conclusion that ties together every clue with Poirot’s signature flair.

After the Funeral is a must-read for both die-hard Agatha Christie fans and newcomers alike. It’s a brilliant example of why Christie remains the unrivaled Queen of Crime, delivering a story that is sure to captivate and keep you hooked until the last page.
