The past three weeks of New year had been little less happening. Exams in first and second week and an unrepaired mobile didn't offer much of exciting things . Reading is always a good escapade :) to beat routine .As I said in my earlier post that I was to read "A monk who sold his Ferrari" , and I did go to one of the leading bookstore to buy it . However the book was out of stock (Not my fault:)).The shop had some kinda sale, it was also end of the year . The people had literally brought down the whole shop. In that mess I saw offers on Agatha Christie novels . Excitedly picked up 6 Christie novels and consoled myself to buy 3 only (concept of frugal spending :P) . One of them was fiction which she wrote under the pen name Mary Westmacott and other two were Poirot series .
Its said that her fiction is not as good as crime novels. I seem to disagree . Her fiction novel equally offer wonderful reading as much a crime novel would. I read "A daughter's a daughter
" which explored relationship of a mother and daughter . It was quite a page turner and made me to introspect my relationship with my mother . We grown up daughters seem think we know where her interest would lie (which sometimes may not be true at all ) .
The Murder on Orient Express
and Hickory Dickory Dock 
, both made an amazing read in past one week. Poirot , who solved cases by utter logic and study of available evidence , was incredible. I may have known who was the murderer in both novels, however never could guess or reason the motive . These two novels and also the previous one which I have read did inspire bollywood. I could faintly recollect the scene's of movies of the 1960's era while reading.
Also now reading her first Poirot book "Mysterious affairs at Styles . One of the point Poirot makes it , even the innocent will destroy the eveidence if it incriminates him or her . :) Quite amusing .
PS : I would surely read A monk who sold his ferrari . After all its search led me to my favorite writer :) .
