    The whole “he moves around like a cat” takes on a new meaning while Gavin’s boys are tearing the flat down in the background of the video 😂

      Haha I totally missed them doing that until I edited the video - and now I understand why Horbury would be a suspect 😂

    "...because this book is a pile of sh- *b e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e p* -and that is why I did not solve it."
    Bless your humor, Gavin.😆💞

    Gav!! I am so proud of you! I had that same reaction at the big reveal. This was my absolute favorite episode in this Slagatha series! Please keep the “white board” of victims, suspects, and clues for next time. This was so fun to follow along! I didn’t even attempt to solve it.

    • @GavinReadsItAll
      @GavinReadsItAll  Год назад +4

      Yay thanks so much Kat!! Glad you enjoyed 😊

  • @ashley2532
    @ashley2532 Год назад +25

    You did it!!!! I have to give this one to you! But next time, EXPERT MODE, you have to lock in you murderer BEFORE Poirot starts going through the suspects one by one. As soon as he gets everyone in the room, you have to stop and guess who done it!

    • @HuntingViolets
      @HuntingViolets 5 месяцев назад

      Yeah, eliminating suspects based on whom Poirot mentions first in the speech at the gathering of the suspects is cheating. He was cheated by the readers in _The ABC Murders,_ though, so maybe it's a wash.

  • @SarahAtHeart
    @SarahAtHeart Год назад +20

    This is so delightful! I think it would give Agatha Christie such joy that people are still reading and trying to solve her mysteries so many years later. And I love the addition of the murder board!

    This new series should be called ‘Iconic Intros and Where To Find Them’. 😂

    Pilar (pee-lar) it’s a Spanish name and I thinkn Simeon is probs (Sim-eon) unless it’s described as Simon with e in book. I haven’t read it.

    • @andreacook1516

  • @PokhrajRoy.
    @PokhrajRoy. Год назад +15

    Ok, so the next one could be ‘The Body in the Library’. You should check out the adaptation of it featuring Joan Hickson as Miss Marple.

  • @PokhrajRoy.
    @PokhrajRoy. Год назад +8

    Lmao I was going to read ‘Hercule Poirot’s Christmas’ too. I should’ve read it so I could solve it alongside you. Also, going Mike’s Mic with the Board is just what we need. Although you can go totally paperless with Freeform (only on iOS) or Milanote.

  • @WilliamsLibrary

    So much fun! I hope you can do 'Evil Under the Sun' next.

  • @magical.chapters
    @magical.chapters Год назад +5

    Oh wow, I didn't expect you to get it that easily! It wasn't obvious at all to me personally. 🙈 It also reminded me of a different book by her and I felt cheated both times. 😂 Guess I need my own white board for the next one, cause I wasn't right once so far. 😆 Loved this format though - you picked up on so many things I didn't even notice!

  • @bluemoon5766
    @bluemoon5766 Год назад +3

    The murder board makes it so much better. They were great before but this brings it to the next level.

  • @natasagajic1061
    @natasagajic1061 Год назад +3

    This was so much fun!! Great job on figuring it out! 😁 I most certainly didn't, when I watched the TV series 🕵‍♀
    Other ones that I think might be fun to try are The ABC Murders, Five Little Pigs, Evil Under the Sun and (obviously 😁) Murder on the Orient Express. The Orient Express one is pretty wintery, so if you feel like reading another one of Christie's mysteries during the winter time, that one would definitely be suitable, I think. Plus it is one of the most famous of her mysteries 😁

    • @GavinReadsItAll
      @GavinReadsItAll  Год назад +1

      I read Orient express but I’d already seen the movie so I couldn’t count it as a book I could solve 😭 but I’m so excited to read Five Little Pigs, I’ve heard great things!

  • @ewigkeit001
    @ewigkeit001 Год назад +1

  • @whisperphoenix19
    @whisperphoenix19 Год назад +5

    This was a fantastic episode of Slagatha vs Agatha! Awesome job! As a seasoned reader and watcher of Poirot I'd recommend either Sad Cypress or Murder in Mesopotamia. Can't wait for the next episode :) have a wonderful Christmas

  • @Jose-fedi

    I loved this! I can’t wait for more from this series. After you read a few I recommend you read The mysterious affair at Styles (her first book) and Curtain (the last Hercules Poirot book) back to back

  • @atvicentex

  • @SamIndigo

  • @jennie9
    @jennie9 Год назад

    One of the recurring characters in some Hercules Poirot books is Ariadne Oliver, who is an author of mysteries with a Finnish detective. Ariadne is clearly a stand-in for Agatha Christie herself. Every time Ariadne says something about her books, character, or style of writing, I think it's Agatha talking about herself. Near the beginning when you said you didn't know if Agatha would repeat herself, I immediately thought of when Poirot compared 2 of Ariadne's books and said they were the same story. She is delighted that he picked up on that and says that she basically writes the same thing again and again with different details and most people don't notice. Good job figuring this out! I've read most of her books but rarely ever figured out who it was. Maybe I would have if I'd set up a murder board. Thanks for the very entertaining video.

  • @noramarie2891
    @noramarie2891 Месяц назад

    I've been reading/listening to this book "with" you, reading then watching then reading ect. And I must admit I have watched this video a few years ago, but I didn't remember anything, so I'm counting this as a win as I guess the murderer right. I agree, Gavin, the signs were a little obvious compared to her other books. (I'm reading through the Hercule Poirot series, and have read all 18 before this one, and I have not been able to solve A SINGLE ONE until now.) But it was still a good book and really thrilling either way. Love this Slagatha series! Keep it up

  • @clairearthur5532

    @ameliamoonbeam5799 Год назад

    Omg, I am so impressed!! I could remember who did it from when I read it a while ago and I couldn't believe how quickly you latched onto them!! I never suspected them at all when I read it and was so shocked when it was revealed, I didn't pick up on any of the clues! And I wouldn't say I'm bad at working them out either, I've read about 65 of her books and at this point I can pretty much always work out who summit in any murder mystery, although I did read this one quite a while ago. Well done Slagatha!!

    this was awesome, you guessed correctly!! I don’t think I figured it out. I think I was leaning toward Stephen most of the book.
    I just finished reading Sad Cypress by Agatha (Poirot story) and the Man in the Brown Suit by Agatha (no Poirot and no Maple) I couldn’t figure either out. Hope you make a video on sad cypress specifically if you ever get a chance

  • @sarahteter6310
    @sarahteter6310 Год назад

    I LOVE when you do these videos! I'm also thinking of doing something like this with a friend for fun and to help me both as a writer and as a DM for DnD so that I'm not only better at picking up clues but hopefully noticing clever ways to drop them. I wouldn't say I'm terrible at this, but I do think it's a great idea for a fun exercise to get better. I'd be greatly interested in any recommendations for Christie books that are fun to try to solve on your own (other than the supposed impossible one, because while it sounds like an interesting read I'm not sure it quite plays by the same rules to enable me to learn in the way I'd hope to apply these skills). I've only read And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, but I'm a huge fan of the Miss Marple series and I've seen Death on the Nile.
    Thank you again for the ridiculously fun watch and spark of an idea that could help me and be fun for my mystery loving friend:)

      Parts of this are sounding very similar to Knives Out and while I know Rian Johnson has taken inspiration from Agatha Christie books, I hadn't heard which ones specifically and now I'm wondering if one of his major influences for the first film was this book.
