I didn't love it and I was getting more and more frustrated with it. And I again like early days, but I don't think the clues and everything that was handed to me was as cohesive and as good to follow as other Agatha Christie mysteries. I think it was a little bit too random at times.

I love the plot of it. I love the fact that a murder was announced in the paper first before it even happened. And like there just a sense of curiosity, the sense of what the hell is going on here.
It was just so fun, so fast-paced. Didn't know what was going to happen next. There was so many deaths, and I loved it.
It was so freaking good. It was so exciting, so fast-paced. I loved finding out more about the suspects.
It had some twists and turns at the end that I thought, "Oh, this is riveting stuff." I really do feel like Agatha Christie just knew how to do plot in this one. She knew how to have some charismatic characters in this one.
I love the idea of it. I really do. I thought it could be a really cool mystery and totally different to everything Agatha's done, but it fell so flat for me.
And I think Death in the Clouds was maybe a little convoluted, but I still really enjoyed it and I still got it. So, that's good.
I was starting to feel a little bit bored in the first 140ish pages, but it did pick up. definitely picked up and it is a pretty good book and I did get it right.
I actually thought it was a really fast-paced kind of Poirot book compared to usual. So, Evil Under the Sun, I will put in the very top of Strong Evidence.
Five Little Pigs was very good. And again, it had one of those kind of unusual plots a little bit to make it stand out from other Agatha Christie books and I remember there being a murder that happened years and years and years ago and someone else was convicted of it, but now it's like years and years later.
So, like the experience itself was very good, but I didn't like the book. I thought it had a really like kind of tedious plot and I did solve it. And I'm not going to lie, I thought it was very easy to solve.
I do think the how is a bit complex, but it still made for a riveting read over Christmas. So, if you have not yet read it and you want something to do this Christmas, I would recommend Hercule Poirot's Christmas.
It was a lot of talking and it wasn't a whole lot of action and that kind of made it a bit of a more mid-ish kind of reading experience for me. Still really appreciate what it did for the genre and its legacy, too.
The reading experience itself wasn't as amazing because of the information I got beforehand, but I did really enjoy the plot. I thought the plot was great. Kept me on my toes.
But Body in the Library was just a little bit too random, a little bit too out of nowhere for a lot of it. and it just didn't feel like I didn't really feel the library vibes and I think the story itself just like lacked from that.
It was so good and it is one of my proudest achievements. I did solve this one and I look back on it now and I think that is definitely the peak of my career. That was the peak that made me so happy getting it right.
I think she is also still trying to find her footing as she's writing this mystery and it doesn't have the most captivating of plots, you know, someone dies through poisoning. Not the most genius of mystery novels, to be honest.
