The Agatha Christie Book Club

My latest read is C.A. Larmer's The Agatha Christie Book Club

Bored with her current book club, Alicia Finlay decides to start her own book club dedicated to the works of Agatha Christie. She places an advertisement in the paper asking interested parties to write and seek membership in the club. From the letter she receives, Alicia selects six members: her sister Lynette; Dr. Anders, an expert on poisons; Claire a retro fashionista; Missy the ditzy yet observant librarian whose insight into human nature rivals that of Miss Marple; Perry the paleontologist, and socialite Barbara Parlour.
The first book they discuss is Evil Under the Sun. At their next meeting to discuss The Mysterious Affair at Styles, Barbara doesn't show up. Concerned for her well-being, the ACBC looks into her disappearance. They become more concerned when her husband is murdered several days later. Alicia and her friends delve into Agatha Christie's own life and her novels to solve the case of the missing book club member.


This is the first book in a three-book series: Murder on the Orient (SS) and Evil Under the Stars are the other two books.
