Book Review: The Secret of Chimneys by Agatha Christie

The Book: The Secret of Chimneys
The Author: Agatha Christie
Julia Rating: 8 out of 10
My Comments:
I am a huge Agatha Christie fan, and I love that this one isn’t a Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot book – I like to shake things up every once in a while. This book was fantastic. I don’t really like [...]
