Great review Brenda. I've got this one sitting on my bookshelf I hope to read it soon seeing as it sounds really good. :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Sharon:) I really loved the book, read in just a few hours!

[Joanne]

Congrets Branda. by the end of the year, you must have read almost 200 books. :)
Thanks for such an inspiration. I off reading for a while, is about time to come back to the reading land and embrace the fiction and non fiction world. :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Joanne - I'm currently reading book #249 for the year:)

Wow Branda. amazing. Thanks for the latest review on Patterson's work. Must admit, i read almost all of his stuff till about 2 years ago, when i found his work become somewhat predictable. Maybe after some rest from him, i might start to enjoy James Patterson's work again. :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Joanne:) I enjoy the Michael Bennett and Alex Cross series, plus the Women's Murder Club. No too fussed on the Private series though.

#48. Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie 4★s

Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Sharon]

Great review Brenda. Another author I've not read :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Really Sharon? Well you absolutely MUST read Agatha Christie!! Thanks:)

[Sharon]

I was afraid you might say that ;) so which one would I start with?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Oh dear Sharon! That would be pot luck! I haven't read A.C. in what seems like centuries! But this one is enjoyable, it isn't long, so it might be a good one to start with. If you have an ereader you can get a lot of them for free from Gutenburg (not this one though!) http://www.gutenberg.org/ A fantastic site for all sorts of books, but probably mostly classics:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I've just done a search Sharon, this one The Mysterious Affair at Styles which happens to be Hercule Poirot #1 is free at Gutenberg http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/863 and The Secret Adversary is also free http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1155 - I downloaded them both awhile back:)

[Sharon]

Thank you Brenda :)

[Mish]

Great review Brenda. I'm at page 114 & really enjoying it.

@Sharon, I agree with Brenda, you should read one. I read (listened to) another A.C book before this one - And Then There Were None - it was quick & fast paced. Very enjoyable.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Mish:) Glad you're enjoying it too:)
