Poirot is absolutely sassy and dramatic and sometimes mean! But I love him for it :P I am so glad you enjoyed your first agatha christie read, murder on the orient express. YES and then there none is still my favourite agatha christie and I love that you loved it too. And you were so good at working out who was going to die next in that one. You did a good job sleuthing and solving death on the nile! That was one I got too as well :3 Yes, her books are very character driven and all you really get of the setting is that it is isolated. All Christie fans love Poirot's grand reveal scenes :D Some people get the roger ackroyd off the bat but I absolutely didn't simply because I didn't think she would dare. I also don't necessarily try and solve the crimes while reading though, I actively try to avoid doing that because Christie does have a pattern to her books and it would become too easy :P But I accidentally solved murder on the orient express and death on the nile without really trying to. And yes, I don't know the how ever though, like you! LOVED THIS VLOG SO MUCH

The twist for The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was surprising when it was written for 2 reasons, first of, no one back then really used the unreliable narrator trope as much as it’s used today. Second, since Sheppard was helping Poirot in the investigation, more or less, people would have been less suspicious of him, it would be like reading a Holmes novel where the killer is revealed to be Watson

It was so cool to read these (finally) and then watch you read and react to them. I did figure some stuff out too, like I wasn't sure but I had my suspicions, but never as quickly as you. Well done!

Yessss please do read the other ones I read in this vlog and come back and let me know how you found them, and if you worked them out, I’d love to know!

I have yet to read Death on the Nile (it's been sitting on my shelf; I skipped the part where you read it), but I've read the other 3, and my ratings are the exact same as yours! This makes me a little concerned for Nile though lol.

I'm very glad we both think the same about the 3 we have read, but I also hope you rate Death on the Nile higher than I did! It was a very good book, but yes when you read it, come back to my thoughts on it and see if we think the same, I'd be so interested to know 😊

Even though I never figured out the how, I seemed to be very good at figuring out the who haha so part time detective better pay well, that's all I'm saying 😂

Me anxiously watching that glass of red wine at the end 😅 everytime you balanced it I just saw it ending horribly. My clumsiness could never 😂😂 I tried to read Agatha Christie and never finished the book. I just couldn’t click with her writing unfortunately. I did enjoy the Death on the Nile movie though!

Haha yeah I HAD to balance that glass of wine on my stomach cause I was not putting it out of reach 😂 I needed it ready at all times haha. Do you remember which Christie novel you tried and DNF'ed?

@@GavinReadsItAll I think it was Death on the Nile. I also bought Then There Were None so I may try that one since that’s her most popular!

NO WAY! Ahhh I love that!!

I recommend crooked house. It was one of Agatha Christie's favorites

Ahh!! I love love love Agatha Christie, I've read around 50 of her books. You did really well guessing! I also guessed The Murder of Roger Ackroyd right. I do find that if you read her books back-to-back, it gets a lot easier to guess because you just tune in into her patterns and know what to look for. I usually space out her books a bit. But you should absolutely read more from her (and vlog!) - you didn't even get to any Miss Marple books. And check out other classic mystery authors. It's so fun to watch you solve the mysteries. My least favourites: The Seven Dials Mystery, Evil Under the Sun, The Secret of Chimneys, Appointment with Death, The Listerdale Mystery, Murder is Easy. Some of my favourites: And Then There Were None (obviously!), The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, The Thirteen Problems (short stories), Hercule Poirot's Christmas, Mrs. McGinty's Dead, Peril at End House, A Murder Is Announced.

Thanks so much!! Do you have any recommendations for which Miss Marple books to read? I’d love to do a vlog dedicated to those books by Christie. And believe me this is the start of my classic mysteries love, I want to get to sooo many more

@@GavinReadsItAll From Miss Marple books, I really like The Thirteen Problems (short stories), A Murder Is Announced, Murder at the Vicarage, The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side . Currently I'm reading A Pocket Full of Rye and it's good so far but haven't finished yet! I know The Body In the Library is very well loved but personally it wasn't my favourite. A lot of people also love A Moving Finger, and it was one of my favourites when I read it as a teen but reread it last year, and didn't like it at all. While the last two mentioned are not my personal favourites, probably would fit a vlog well because they're really popular!

Ooh, Peril at End House and A Murder is Announced are some of my favourites, too, so now I'm very excited to read Mrs McGinty's Dead, which I haven't gotten to yet (and can't remember from the show)!
