I really like the way Hannah has taken over Christie's character of Hercule Poirot and made him her own. This was a good one. Poirot is contacted by several individuals he's never met. They have one thing in common: they have all received letters, signed by Poirot, accusing them of murdering an elderly man who purportedly drowned in his bathtub. Poirot is intrigued, since he didn't send any such letters and has never heard of the victim, so he starts investigating. It wasn't too complicated to figure out, which was nice.
I was disappointed with Fluke's latest Hannah Swenson mystery. Rather than return to the mess she made with Hannah and Ross (TEAM NORMAN!!...ahem) she went back in time to when Hannah's father passed away and Hannah moved back to Lake Eden. The "mystery" (I use the term very, very loosely, as it was a marginal side plot at best) had to do with someone giving a baby up for adoption. Basically, Hannah was lucky enough to have a father who cared about her future and invested her college fund wisely, leaving Hannah enough money to open her own bake shop. Good for her, I guess? It feels like Fluke just wants to write cookbooks, since honestly, this book was mostly about what they ate and how Hannah learned to use her new appliances.
I love "Twin Peaks", which is actually the only David Lynch work I've ever seen. I'm super intrigued to watch some of his other movies after reading his autobiography "Room to Dream". This book was very fun, he came across as a great, down to earth sort of guy. Even his ex-wives (he has three, and is currently estranged from his fourth) have nothing but great things to say about him. All the actors and actresses who have worked with him (other than Anthony Hopkins) praised him and his methods.
