Welcome to my personal book blog - Brown Flopsy's Book Burrow!!
I am mad about books in all their forms - paper books, e-books and audio books.
I review books and share the bookish love. You may also see me talking about books on Twitter (X), Instagram and Threads (@brownflopsy).
I always give honest reviews of the books I have enjoyed, and the views expressed here are completely my own.
I am also a member of, and admin for, the SquadPod Collective bloggers group.

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
Read February 2019.
Ten strangers are invited to stay in a mansion on an island off the coast of Devon.
They are all hiding a secret and their sins will be found out.
I am a huge fan of Christie's Poirot books, and quite enjoy a Miss Marple now and then, but this is the first Agatha Christie I have read without a "resident detective". I know this is considered a classic, but for me, the lack of a Poirot or Marple did cause the story to suffer a bit. I love it when all the suspects are gathered together at the end of the story and the murderer is exposed, and I really missed that.
I find it odd that this is one of those books that often appears on the "must read" lists, as it is certainly not the best one I have read.
I think I will stick with the Poirots and Marples.
