My second book blog that continues on from my first one (www.litcritique.blogspot.com) which I had to shut down recently due to email difficulties. As with my sister film blog (TheFilmFantastique) I am using these blogs as a record for books that I read so that I don't forget them. I am not trying to post highly articulate reviews, simply a bit of info on why I enjoyed said novel for my own records so I know for future reference. All book lovers welcome!

Hercule Poirot and the Greenshore Folly: Agatha Christie - 1954 ****
Adorable, and as always Poirot always reconstructs the crime perfectly in his head before you've even had time to familiarise yourself with the suspects then helpfully describes it to his fascinated readers. Lovely little story that has never before been published, and all Christie's proceeds went to repairing a stained glass window in her local church!
Poirot is summoned out of the blue to Greenshore Folly in Devon by his old friend Ariadne Oliver to help take part in a 'Murder Hunt' (similar to a treasure hunt but more gruesome!) However when the murder hunt takes place there is a real murder, and Poirot must use his little grey cells once more to figure out 'whodunit'. Poirot is just wonderful.
