Hello everybody, and happy Friday! Although I’m aware of Patti
Abbott’s Friday’s Forgotten Books meme, I’ve
never posted an intentional FFB review myself. But this Friday is a special one—it’s
Agatha Christie day! And readers of my blog know very well that at the mention
of her name, I’m liable to go off babbling about how wonderful she was for hours. I’ve read most of her output
multiple times and that’s why her name hasn’t shown up so often in reviews… but
I did manage to persuade John Curran
to do
an interview/discussion
with me on the subject of Christie.
For this Friday, I was asked to contribute an Agatha
Christie review to Kevin
Tipple’s excellent blog, which is where Barry Ergang posts many of his
reviews. (Barry’s a dangerous reviewer, and I can’t even guess the number of
books I’ve bought based on his recommendations.) Of course, I was both honoured
and very pleased – for once, the ghost of Harry Stephen Keeler was on my side, because I was just preparing to
write a review of Agatha Christie’s The
Murder at the Vicarage!
So for today, I’ve temporarily set up shop at Kevin’s Corner, and I hope you will all
join me there! Please click here to read my review of The Murder at the Vicarage.
Hope you will do another one soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting, Patti. Although I regularly review books that could be considered "forgotten", I've never put myself on a schedule, which is why I haven't done an FFB until now. But this was rather fun to do and I think I'd enjoy doing more! :)
DeleteFrom one "dangerous reviewer" to another, you made a nice debut as a guest-blogger, Patrick. I know Kevin hopes this is just the first of your appearances on the "Corner."
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your kind comment, Barry! I would certainly love to post more guest reviews! :)
DeleteBoth Patti and Barry, as usual, have beaten me to the punch. Yes, please, please consider doing more reviews over on my blog. It would truly be an honor to have your work on there.

Kevin, thanks for commenting. I would of course be honoured to post more reviews on your blog -- I'm glad you liked this one!
DeleteI'm starting to make my way through the Poirot books I haven't read yet and am developing a renewed appreciation for Christie as a result. Good review.
