Average rating3.7
Never a dull moment. Excellent story with lots of red herrings, and an ending that fooled me completely. Lots of fun.
Not gonna lie, the literal CRUMB of romantic subplot brought the rating up from a 1 to a 2
Reread, probably 3rd or 4th time. I love this book. Virginia Revel is my idol.
This might be my favorite Agatha Christie.
Yes, there is a murder, but this book is more of a mystery and a thriller.
I like Agatha's books because even though they are mysteries, they can be read and reread again and again without much of the excitement disappearing.
The Secret of Chimneys by Agatha Christie is definitely a book that you can start and, before you know it, you’re already 60 pages in. The pacing is incredibly fast, pulling you into the story right from the beginning. I found the characters to be particularly enjoyable, each one contributing to the overall narrative in a meaningful way. The story itself felt a bit more sprawling compared to some of Christie’s other novels, offering a wider scope and perhaps a more intricate plot. Despite this, it never lost its momentum, making it a highly satisfying read. I would definitely advise anyone to pick this one up—it’s a five out of five stars for me!
