Book Review 1 - Lord Edgware Dies
I think for Agatha Christie , I will stop calling it a review. There is nothing to review. It is magnificent.
While reading the book, my head was spinning. So many details that I thought it had to be like Murder on the Orient Express. Everyone did it! But, she wouldn't repeat it.
Then in the end, I almost burst out laughing. It was so simple that I and Hercule Poirot (Of course, he figures it out in the end) as well missed it.
I heard of this book in another Poirot book where he calls it 'his single failure'. I hardly think so. As usual, any Agatha Christie novel is absolutely worth it.
Some words I learnt were( In every book I read, I write down the words I don't know in pencil on the front page. At the end, I go through them all. It is annoying but it pays off. ):
- Vacuous- Showing a lack of thought or intelligence
- Surreptitious(ly) - Secretive(ly)
- Effeminate - Of a man , having characteristics considered typical of a woman
- Repugnant - Distasteful
- Insular - ignorant of cultures, people outside one's own experience
- Proclivity- Tendency to choose something
