Sparkling Cyanide
by Agatha Christie
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This is my favorite Agatha Christie of all, and Christie is one of my favorite authors. Some Christie novels lack character development. Sparkling Cyanide is widely considered one of her best novels in terms of character development, and I agree.
Leopard's hunt

One of her better Leopard Series book. Not as violent as her other books in this series.
Rogue Male
by Geoffrey Household
View in Library Catalog
book cover


When you are caught with your gun aimed at the supreme leader of a ruthless and unscrupulous government, you cannot be allowed to escape...but you do. But how can you disguise the marks they left upon you? Who can you turn to when their spies follow your every move? And when one gets in your head and forces you to come to terms with your own motivations, can you overcome the past and break free one last time? Rogue Male was instantly one of my all-time favorite books. Household's writing is subtle and sardonic, capturing all the tension, terror, and intrigue of the hunt. If this book has piqued your interest, I strongly recommend the audiobook narrated by Michael Jayston. You won't regret it.

I listened to this as an audiobook and truly enjoyed it. Parts were a bit of a stretch but it was well written and the characters were well developed.

This was a really good book and people should read it more often. I love the thoughtfulness put into this. Also love creativity from the first book and putting that into this book. Has really good cliff hangers too!

The Count Of Monte Cristo

Such a great book about revenge! The revenge plan goes so smoothly that there is hardly any anxiety while reading it. This is a very long book, with lots of characters. One may need to keep a list if characters handy.
Klara And The Sun

book cover


If I could give this zero stars, I would. Literally nothing happened. It was like watching paint dry, but make it robot feelings and cryptic metaphors that went nowhere. I kept waiting for the plot to kick in and it just… didn’t. Klara deserved better. I deserved better. We all deserved better.
How To Rule An Empire And Get Away With It

book cover


This is charming and pulls you right in. An actor finds himself playing a hero and gets into deeper and deeper trouble. It's a lot of fun, and the narrator is likable, though there really are no other characters in the book, just 2-dimensional NPC's who betray, execute orders, cause trouble, etc. Still, I found I didn't mind much. Smart, fun and a good read.
