lavender2345 's review for:
Mrs. McGinty's Dead
by Agatha Christie
I chose this book out of the hundreds of Agatha Christie audiobooks available to me with my Scribd subscription. It was basically a random choice when I was looking for something to listen to while I dozed off resting/napping in bed. Post-exam. And it's much easier to lie in bed and rest when I have a cozy English village to escape into.
I listened to about half all at once before it got a bit borderline too scary for me to listen to before bedtime. There was a clue about a newspaper clipping (that's not a spoiler!) which I found a little unsettling. So I took a break and finished it later, which helped. I wasn't scared anymore and found the plot to be intriguing and cleverly crafted, as is usual with the Queen of Mystery, Ms. Christie.
I find Hercule Poirot to be an amusing protagonist. I really enjoyed the satirical descriptions of some terrible cooking in this book. One such gem was when Poirot was served "watery potatoes and what [the host] optimistically hoped would be pancakes." Haha such a prim and proper way to describe just terrible pancakes!
