First Chapter, First Paragraph Tuesday Intros - The Clocks


Today I'm linking up with Socrates' Book Reviews for First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros.  This is a meme I've been following for quite sometime and always enjoyed seeing all the different first paragraphs so I'm really excited to be linking up myself!


Goodreads:  The Clocks by Agatha Christie

First Chapter/First Paragraph:

Colin Lamb's Narrative:

To use police terms: at 2:59 on September 9th, I was proceeding along Wilbraham Crescent in a westerly direction.  It was my first introduction to Wilbraham Crescent, and frankly Wlibraham Crescent had me baffled.

My Thoughts:  So not the most enticing beginning but I do love how frustrated he is by Wilbraham Crescent.  I'm not particularly great at directions so I'm often befuddled by confusing streets or blocks.

  3. I've read this one and enjoyed it. It didn't make my 'favorite Poirot' list, but it's still good. Hope you like it!

  8. There is something about Agatha Christie that just says comfort to me. Yes, I know there are murders, but they are quiet little ones. ;-)
