Renee gave 4 stars to The Man in the Brown Suit (Colonel Race, #1) by Agatha Christie
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.
