The Murder of Roger Ackroyd: A Hercule Poirot Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition
Agatha ChristieAnna Tuckett@magdalenakgould I’m not sure. It’s very complex, more than 500 pages and it’s written in 1930s English. Perhaps Agatha Christie would be better to start with, for example The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.

Summer
Edith WhartonAnna TuckettMy quest to plug the gaps in my reading continues: although they discussed a different Edith Wharton novel, I was once again inspired by @BacklistedPod. ‘Summer’ was so evocative of both the season and of the time when you’re young & in love for the 1st time. #books https://t.co/tzasAETxhy
