The Wee Writing Lassie’s 300 Books in a Year – Book 269

The ABC Murders by Agatha Christie

Goodreads Blurb: Hercule Poirot and Arthur Hastings reunite for their most difficult case yet. When Poirot receives a letter warning him that a crime is about to be committed by the ‘A.B.C’ the friends find themselves in a race against time to decipher the killer’s twisted logic as he taunts the great detective by announcing the next murder location alphabetically. With every new killing a new pool of suspects is uncovered.

First is Alice Ascher in Andover, whose abusive husband has a shaky alibi. Then the flirtatious Betty Barnard is murdered, leaving behind possessive fiancé, Donald Fraser and jealous sister Megan. Carmichael Clarke is the third victim, a wealthy man whose ambitious secretary, Thora Grey, or grieving brother Franklin, could be suspects. All the while, the mysterious Mr Cust makes his rounds through England.

Can Poirot and Hastings unmask the killer before a final letter seals an innocent victim’s fate?

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Goodreads Review:Usually I have absolutely no idea who the murderer really is in one of these books but I have to say the first time we met them I had a bit of an inkling something was off here. Which made it all the more enjoyable when the truth was revealed and the killer brought out into the open… I love feeling like a genius.

The Wee Writing Lassie’s 300 Books in a Year – Book 268

The Perfect Nanny by D.L. Fisher

Goodreads Blurb: My husband didn’t understand why I wanted to return to work, especially while our daughter is still so young. She’s only four weeks old. But I’m at risk of losing my job if I don’t.

Bree Miller is the perfect answer — she’s young, bright and adores Delilah.

We go for a walk in Central Park on Bree’s first day. I’m taking a call when I hear a loud, high-pitched shriek. My heart races in my chest as I turn the corner.

A man dressed head-to-toe in black has his fingers wrapped around the handle of Delilah’s stroller.

Bree is fighting him off. As I approach, he flees. Bree is left with a dark bruise on her face and her eye is swollen shut. They tried to kidnap my daughter.

Then, threatening photos arrive on my doorstep.

Someone is after me and my family. And I can’t help but wonder if the real danger is outside. Or if I’ve invited her into my home.
