Ah if the mystery is not executed well as you say I'll give it a miss. That's most of the fun for me with this genre. I don't mind people using this kind of IP though. I read some recent Sherlock Holmes books and they were pretty good, despite a new author.
I've not been sure about picking up a Sophie Hannah. You haven't helped 😁. My favourite murder mystery? That's tough. "And Then There Were None" is definitely a contender. And if you like Golden Age detective novels, I can recommend the 'Shedunnit' podcast. Well researched and presented.
@@thebookworm6554 You have some catching up to do, I've been folding for close to 50 years!! And I even attended the German convention a few years ago in Erkner (I'm from Scotland). It was great fun. I found your channel a while ago and noticed that we seem to have similar tastes, which means I can use your reviews as a good base when you review something I haven't read. I look forward to them 😊 Keep up the good work and Frohe Weihnachten!
@@origamidennis Wow, cool! Well, I'm 36 so it will be a while until I can say I've been doing Origami for 50 years! And I can't believe there was a convention in Erkner, I used to live in Brandenburg!!!
I have read a number of Sophie Hannah novels but none with Christie's Poirot. I am not sure about an author using another author's creation to write their own book. Having said that the book group I am in in the UK will be reading The Monogram Murders next month, another of Hannah's Poirot attempts. As for her own crime novels I find Hannah can be extremely good or downright awful. There seems to be no middle ground for me.
@@thebookworm6554 I finished it today and I wish Hannah had left Poirot well alone it was too rambling and convoluted. How many times does the reader need to be told about the monograms being found in the victims' mouths? As for Catchpole with his fear of dead bodies he should have been a librarian rather than a detective. I watched your video reviewing the monogram murders from 9 years ago and your videos and presenting style have improved from then. It shows what practice can do.
I love your passion for reading and your accent makes it all the more enjoyable. I hope your channel grows.
Thank you!!

I LOVE And Then There Were None, and I also like your Handle. I've been doing Origami for more than 25 years...!

Shady pines!
I think adding Sophia Patrillo to this book could have made it a lot more fun!

Let me know what you thought of The Monogram Murders after you've read it!

@@MichaelRumney Thank you, this means a lot! Indeed I feel my style had changed a lot since then.
