Even if you’re worried that you’ll miss having Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, or Tommy and Tuppence guiding you through the mystery. In her own words, ” I found a study of a certain family interesting to explore.” If you like character studies that focus on familial connections, then this is something you’ll enjoy. Add to that the nursery rhyme reference in the title and you can see why the writer liked this book so much. He has a young wife, a vast fortune, and slightly difficult relationships with his offspring. It’s set in a big house, an elderly patriarch is poisoned and his family are all potential suspects. There’s a reason why it was included on my suggestions for where to start reading Christie books.Ĭrooked House has everything you need from a good standalone Agatha Christie novel. Well, apart from And Then There Were None which I never stop banging on about. I realise that in my re-readings, I tend to focus more on the Poirot or Miss Marple novels. So, I picked up a quick standalone novel. Meaning I can cross off a couple of letters in a matter of days and stop stressing about it so much. I always enjoy her books and they’re usually really quick reads. Who is the best author to go to when you’re falling behind in your monthly reading challenge? Agatha Christie is definitely one of the best writers for getting me back on track.
