Or I just go back and listen to it again. Lately I've been listening during meals. I'm sitting anyway - right?

I have not listened to it, or any Christie, as an audio book, something I rarely do, because I feel like I must sit still and pay attention while the reader is speaking. I listened to a very long book on audio once, and spent days just sitting on my patin with coffee or juice gazing at the flowers while hearing the story unfold. I guess that not a bad thing, but I find I prefer reading.Rick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978136287154214297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-39478549816485521942018-05-04T12:07:42.626-04:002018-05-04T12:07:42.626-04:00Fascinating premise!

I don't know bridge, either, though, so I would have a bit of trouble following Poirot's detecting scheme, I suspect. Still...sounds like another compelling Christie read.
