Introduction
I chose The Secret of Chimneys as my classic read for March for a few reasons. First, because Canterbury Classics sent it to me. Second, because I had never read Agatha Christie before (I know, I know). Third, because it’s Women’s History Month. And fourth, because its cover is green, which contributes to this month’s St. Patrick’s Day holiday aesthetic.
Thoughts
I’m not exactly a thriller girl, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I think this story, the first in the Superintendent Battle series by Agatha Christie, was an amazing introduction to this author. It was an easy and cheeky read, reminding me of a British Soap opera in many ways. There was no shortage of entertaining characters, mysteries, and intrigue in this book. I will definitely be reading more Agatha Christie in the future.
