My thoughts on the books I read in February 2024:
Doughnut Economics by Kate Raworth
⭐⭐⭐1/2
I appreciate the ideas in this book, I just wish they weren’t so broad and vague. Not enough detail. And not enough data. I want actionable and specific policies, written in plain language.
The Man in the Brown Suit by Agatha Christie
⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is a standalone novel (no Poirot or Marple). The book crosses genres. It’s a little adventure, thriller, mystery, and romance. I found the plucky protagonist endearing. It’s not difficult to figure out who the Colonel is, but the journey is fun. Unfortunately, the ending was too “happily-ever-after.”
Lord Edgware Dies by Agatha Christie
⭐⭐⭐
Not the best Poirot mystery. Good Poirot-Hastings-Japp interplay.

Death by corn knife is an embarrassing way to go.
