Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 35
Soon after Gwenda moved into her new home, odd things started to happen. Despite her best efforts to modernise the house, she only succeeded in dredging up its past. Worse, she felt an irrational sense of terror every time she climbed the stairs. In fear, Gwenda turned to Miss Marple to exorcise her ghosts. Between them, they have to solve a 'perfect' crime committed many years before.

Great Performance
Revisado: 04-29-24
The mystery is solid, if not a little farfetched, but the performance elevates it. The narrator gives each character a distinctive voice and you can almost visualize the scenes. Very enjoyable listen.

Who is this Poirot?
Revisado: 03-01-24
The author had a perfectly logical resolution in her grasp, but chose the convoluted one as always. And even worse, who is this Poirot. Agatha Christie's Poirot has always been compassionate and empathetic even with his accurate moral compass. This one is sanctimonious, callous, cruel. Christie's Poirot's outfit is usually black and white. In Hannah's Poirot's case, the his morals and mind are black and white.

An improvement
Revisado: 02-24-24
Being an avid Agatha Christie reader and a huge fan of all novels featuring Poirot, I gave The Monogram Murders a try, mostly out of nostalgia and I have to say I did not enjoy it. Still, I recognise it is no easy feat stepping into Dame Christie's shoes and it takes a while to find one's footing. I thought this second instalment by Sophie Hannah was a vast improvement. The plot is a lot less contrived and less overly dramatic and Edward Catchpool now has (just a little bit of) a sense o humor. Also, we get a glimpse of why he's employed as a detective in Scotland Yard (in the first book, he was the most incompetent detective ever, not just in comparison to Poirot). Hercule Poirot still feels a bit like Frankenstein's monster, a ressurected being that is not quite like his old self, but it's not simple to write this character like Christie did, with the perfect balance between ridiculous, brilliant, arrogant and tender. Julian Rhind-Tutt's performance is great and makes it all more enjoyable. I'd give the overall experience 3 and a half stars.

Hercule Poirot's quiet supper in a London coffeehouse is interrupted when a young woman confides to him that she is about to be murdered. She is terrified - but begs Poirot not to find and punish her killer. Once she is dead, she insists, justice will have been done. Later that night, Poirot learns that three guests at a fashionable London Hotel have been murdered, and a cufflink has been placed in each one’s mouth. Could there be a connection with the frightened woman?

This is NOT Poirot
Revisado: 01-09-24
Though it's meant to pay homage to Agatha Christie, another author comes to mind: Mary Shelley. After his last appearance in "Curtain", Poirot is brought back to life by Ms. Hannah, but he feels like Frankenstein's monster. This is not Poirot, it's just something wearing his carcass. It would have been an enjoyable read, despite being too convoluted and unnecessarily dramatic, but the inclusion of Christie's famous sleuth (only in name and physical appearance, not in behavior) detracts from the experience.

In a remote house in the middle of Dartmoor, six shadowy figures huddle around a table for a seance. Tension rises as the spirits spell out a chilling message: "Captain Trevelyan...dead...murder." Is this black magic or simply a macabre joke? The only way to be certain is to locate Captain Trevelyan. Unfortunately, his home is six miles away and, with snowdrifts blocking the roads, someone will have to make the journey on foot....

Hugh Fraser's performance makes it all the more enjoyable! The story is entertaining, though not one of Christie's best. Still worth a listen

During the languid days of the Christmas break, a group of 30-something friends from Oxford meets to welcome in the New Year together, a tradition they began as students 10 years ago. For this vacation, they’ve chosen an idyllic and isolated estate in the Scottish Highlands - the perfect place to get away and unwind by themselves. They arrive on December 30, just before a historic blizzard seals the lodge off from the outside world. Two days later, on New Year’s Day, one of them is dead.

Awful and borderline offensive
Revisado: 07-08-22
Not only is it not specially well written and awfully predictable, but it's full of clichés. (Minor spoiler ahead) Furthermore, it leans on the tired and harmful trope that links mental illness to violence, which is, I'm sorry, bulls**t and we should be over that by this day and age.

On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It’s a wedding for a magazine or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed.
