4⭐ Death in the Air by Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie was one of my mother-in-law's favourite authors (to the point where Agatha Christie mystery shows are now a permanent fixture in my BritBox TV algorithm). After her passing, I decided to pick up one of the many books she owned, in memory of her.

While I have never read anything by Agatha Christie, I was familiar with Hercule Poirot as a character and was familiar with a few of Christie's most famous stories. After reading this one, I now understand how she was, at a time, the most read author in the world (and is still the 3rd most translated in the world, only behind the Bible and Shakespeare).

In 1934 on a flight between France and England, a notorious moneylender is found dead, suspected to have been murdered by a poison dart. The suspects include eleven people who were assigned to the cabin during the flight, one of who is M. Poirot himself.

Throughout the investigation in the weeks after the event, and with the help of some of the involved passengers, the case is solved with a great twist that could have easily been missed. (For the record, the twist I half concluded to earlier in the story, but as for the actual murderer, I was way off!)

This was a very fast-paced read, with lots of action right from the get go. A lot of information is dumped in the first chapter setting up all the characters/suspects, but aside from that it was very easy to follow. The characters were well thought out and quite entertaining.

If you like cozy mysteries but have never read anything by Christie, I definitely recommend checking out this or one of the many other modern classics by her.

We don't have this particular title in the shop, but we do have a couple others, starting at $12.99.

3.75⭐ Anticipation by Melodie Winawer

It was a beautiful weekend to read on the porch, so I was able to finally get into and finish this Greek-based historical fiction fairly quickly.

Years after the tragic death of her husband, Helen, a scientist studying Huntington's Disease, and her young son Alex decide to travel to Greece, for both work and pleasure. The discovery of Huntington's in a specific inland region will give Helen the chance to make some business connections, and Alex's love of history is sure to be a much needed distraction from his grief.

However, the story truly revolves around the character Elias, who is cursed to protect his hometown of Mystras from an unnamed enemy for an uncertain amount of time.

While he lives and works in Mystras as a tour guide in the present day, Elias' story begins in the 13th century during the Byzantine-Ottoman conflict, and it spans over several lives, including one during the Greek War of Independence.

Upon meeting Elias, Helen and Alex quickly bond with him, with a romance budding between the two adults. However, as Helen's research intersects Elias' secret, a common adversary appears and begins to form a wedge in any potential of a relationship.

For this book, it is about 70% history, and just a sprinkling of romance, both historical and contemporary. This was a very well-researched story. The historical details of the different eras have sparked a personal interest in travelling to Greek myself one day.

I wish there was more content in the present day to make the book feel more well-rounded, but all in all I did very much enjoy this one.

I have one copy coming to the shop this week.

I just want to say that sometimes you realize that a town is more than a town, it is a community. Over the last week we suffered a painful loss in the passing of my wee mum. All of you were so understanding and supportive. So many condolences, it really helped get us through. Though I know my heart will be heavy for awhile, I am thankful for everyone who let me take the time we needed.

I really appreciate our amazing community.

Thanks from me.
