Started strong, ended strange. Sophie Hannah’s The Last Death of the Year promises Poirot brilliance on a Greek island but delivers more confusion than clarity. Still, Rhind-Tutt’s narration kept me listening! #Poirot #Mystery #BookReview #ViewsSheWrites

Not a single #Whovian replied to this. Thanks. Adding insult to injury, my post-pod #Poirot was ruined when I saw 1930s thief with Mini #Maglite. I mean, come on, #ITV. Oh, my god, maybe he's the Doctor! And no, I don't want to talk about Poirot, I want to talk about #DoctorWho.

“At the small table, sitting very upright, was one of the ugliest old ladies he had ever seen. It was an ugliness of distinction - it fascinated rather than repelled.”
― Agatha Christie

Watching the David Suchet Poirot series, and I live for the female-heavy episodes because once you put more than two white British dudes together, I lose the ability to distinguish them. The men don't even have to all be blond.

I do, however, note that they reuse the same white Art Deco mansion as the rich asshole house in several episodes across the seasons. Maybe there's only one such mansion left. 😔
