The Agathas by Liz Lawson, Kathleen Glasgow
4.0

I was able to read this ebook through #NetGalley!

After her ex boyfriend falls in love with her best friend, Alice turns to Agatha Christie to cope. When, 6 months later, that best friend goes missing, Alice teams up with her tutor, Iris, to become Hercule Poirot/Miss Marple.

This book is a lot of fun, but it does have some unnecessary tropes-- I was just waiting for the inevitable fight between the two girls, and the privileged vs unprivileged theme was definitely skated over.

However, this book is entertaining, and if it introduces young readers to Agatha Christie, then I'm on board.
