Just Another Belle

I love the new covers of these books. They're fantastically adorable & unassuming considering the type of thriller mysteries these books actually are.

This is my first Agatha Christie book.  I had read some pieces of her work in English class in high school, I believe but never the full story.  But I figured it was high time to start reading her work in earnest.  For Christmas, I got this & Murder on the Orient Express.

Did you hear about the BBC miniseries based on this book? It was released in honor of Agatha Christie's 125th birthday.  From what I understand, it's due out in the US sometime in 2016 on Lifetime.  I couldn't find much information on it but people seemed to enjoy it in the UK.

In any case, this was delightful and slightly creepy.  There was a lot of things going on because there was 10 separate characters to keep track of but it was pretty easily managed most of the time.

Story

• What an awesome original story, first of all.
• It was interesting reading about what guilt did to people. Without going into too much detail on each individual person, you got a sense of who they were and what they did (eventually).
• I loved that, despite having many guesses, I never actually could guess who did it.  I had a pretty good idea of how it was accomplished but I just picked the wrong person.

This was an easy read and I would recommend it to any mystery lover.  After all, Agatha Christie is the queen of mysteries, a fact that I had known but not experienced first hand.

There's not much else to say about this.  I benefited from reading this without knowing much about it.  It's just something you have to experience first hand without much information.
