I heard Caroline from Mrs M's Meanderings mention After The Crash by Michel Bussi on one of her You Tube videos and thought it sounded good so I borrowed it from the library. It's about a plane crash where the only survivor is a three month old baby girl. Two families believe her to belong to them which results in an investigation lasting right up to her eighteenth birthday, when the truth is finally discovered. I enjoyed this book and couldn't wait until the end to find out who she really was.
The Agatha Christie book I read this month was The ABC Murders. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and though Poirot features, it was actually written in a slightly different way to the Agatha Christie books I've read before. There's a serial killer working his way through the alphabet, the first victim is A A in Andover, the second B B in Bexhill. A copy of the ABC Railway Guide, open at the place of the murder, is left on each body. A very clever murder mystery which I would thoroughly recommend.
I've got a few books from the library waiting to be read as well as a few on my Kindle. I usually read a lot on holiday so it will be interesting to see how many I get though. Next month's reading round up may be quite lengthy.
Both of those sound quite appealing; I'm a big fan of mysteries, both in print and on screen.
ReplyDeleteI am too, I enjoyed them as a child and I still enjoy them now.
DeleteI liked that Agatha too, haven't read the other, but it sounds good, have to see if our library has it.
ReplyDeleteThey're both good books, definitely worth seeing if your library has After The Crash in.
DeleteOohhh the first book sounds good! Hope you all have a lovely holiday x
ReplyDeleteI certainly enjoyed it. Thank you.
DeleteI enjoyed After the Crash ....... and didn't guess the ending!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed it too, I didn't guess the ending either.
DeleteAfter the Crash sounds interesting. I hope you've got plenty loaded onto your Kindle for your hols! xx
ReplyDeleteI should have enough reading matter for my holiday, I can always pick up more if I run out.
DeleteGlad you enjoyed your reading choices! You must have finished quite a few of the Agatha Christie books by now. I hope you have a great time away and enjoy your reading while you are gone too!
ReplyDeleteI started reading Agatha Christie books at the beginning of last year and I'm reading one each month so I've read eighteen now, still plenty to go though. Thank you.
DeleteI haven't read Agatha Christie in twenty years, must change this. I always liked Hercule Poirot. Have a good holiday with many hours of happy reading.
ReplyDeleteI used to read Agatha Christie in my teens but hadn't read one since then until last year when I started reading them all in chronological order. I can't remember any that I'd previously read now, which is good. Thank you.
DeleteBoth sound good Jo & I'll see if our library has or can get them. When do you go? Take care.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed both of these books. We go on Saturday, I'm really looking forward to it.
DeleteI can't get into reading at the moment. But I do like James Patterson and John Grisham. I have different moods, picking up a real chick lit which is a bit rubbishy but fills the gap.
ReplyDeleteMy dad reads a lot of John Grisham. I usually read in bed before I drop asleep so I enjoy a good chick lit, something nice and fluffy.
DeleteAfter the crash sounds interesting, I might order it from Amazon if it doesn't turn up in our charity shop.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a good storyline. Obviously it wouldn't happen now with the discovery of DNA but it's set a few years ago.
DeleteOh dear - more books to add to my list of "I Wanna Read These"!
ReplyDeletexxx
I see so many books being reviewed on blogs that take my fancy that my list of books to read is so long. I'll get through them all one day.
DeleteBoth of these sound intriguing!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed them both. I'm looking forward to getting stuck in to some more books on my holiday now.
DeleteAfter the Crash is on my list of books to read, and I've read The ABC Murders several times over the years.
ReplyDeletehappy reading. Flighty xx
I really enjoyed The ABC Murders, it was written differently the other Agatha Christie books I've read, and it's always good when I don't guess the ending.
DeleteSounds intriguing, tried looking on Amazon but it sent me to .es bit expensive, so shall continue looking. Thanks for the review xcx
ReplyDeleteI must admit that I try and find books at a cheaper price, either in the charity shop, on a daily deal on Amazon or free from the library.
DeleteThank you for the suggestions.
ReplyDeleteHugs and happy reading,
Meredith
My books are all packed now, we just need some good weather so that I can sit and read them on the beach.
DeleteGlad you enjoyed these reading choices ...Happy holiday reading!
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I usually read plenty on my holiday, I'm sure it will be the same this year.
DeleteAfter the crash sounds really good, I must look out for that.xxx
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed both books this month, definitely worth reading.
DeleteI hope you are reading some good books whilst you are away.
ReplyDeleteThe first book sounds really good, may have to look out for that one.

I'm doing plenty of reading whilst away, at least that's something I can do in the rain! Actually, I've just finished a book today so I'm about to start a new book, I've got a few on my Kindle so I have a choice.
