bookshelves: 2025-reading-challenge, audible-amazing-listens, audible-unlimited, bestseller-authors, mystical, cozy-mysteries, series, classics, 1920s, thriller
This is Agatha Christie's version of the ironic romantic thriller, 1920s style. It's no Romancing the Stone, but it does have exotic locations, plucky heroine, bad boy hero, humorous villain, several quite outlandish plot developments & a favorite audiobook narrator, Nicola Barber. Entertaining. ]]>
