(Image created by IA Bing )Hola, querida comunidad de Hive, espero que se encuentren muy bien. El día de hoy quiero compartir una reseña de un libro bastante bueno. Normalmente leo en digital porque se me resulta más cómodo, y olvido un poco los libros que tengo en mis estanterías (los cuales son pocos). Sin embargo, tengo uno que otro que vale la pena, y ese es el caso de “Cianuro espumoso” de Agatha Christie.
Hello, dear Hive community, I hope you are doing great. Today I want to share a review of a pretty good book. I usually read digitally because it is more comfortable for me, and I forget a bit the books I have on my shelves (which are few). However, I have one or the other that is worth it, and that is the case of "Sparkling Cyanide" by Agatha Christie.
Esta es una historia que conseguí hace bastante tiempo en una librería de libros usados en mi ciudad. No me costó mucho, y creo que pertenece a una colección, la cual investigaré cuando suba de nuevo a la ciudad.
This is a story I got quite some time ago in a used bookstore in my city. It didn't cost me much, and I think it belongs to a collection, which I will investigate when I go up there again.

Entonces, es poco creíble que ella quisiera quitarse la vida con cianuro en su copa, ¿o sí?
Personally, this book had caught my attention because it was about a beautiful woman named Rosemary Barton, who was everything a woman could want at the time: rich and pretty. So, it's hardly believable that she would want to take her own life with cyanide in her glass, is it?
No me esperaba menos de la autora, de quien había leído su biografía y considero que es una persona bastante interesante. Si bien nunca había leído un libro suyo, considero que comencé con buen pie porque su pluma no pudo ser más interesante e intrigante durante toda la historia. Aunque es un libro corto, no deja cabos sueltos, y para mí, que siempre me sorprendo con quién fue el culpable, no fue una excepción en esta obra.
I expected nothing less from the author, of whom I had read her biography and I consider her to be quite an interesting person. Although I had never read a book of hers, I consider that I started off on the right foot because her pen could not have been more interesting and intriguing throughout the story. Although it's a short book, it leaves no loose ends, and for me, who am always surprised with who the culprit was, it was no exception in this work.

Ella empieza con la premisa de que su hermana no era del todo feliz y tenía un amante, pero este la dejó, lo que la lleva a cuestionarse si en realidad fue un suicidio. Las cosas se ponen mucho más interesantes cuando se da cuenta de que no todo es lo que parece, sobre todo cuando el viudo marido de su hermana comienza a recibir notas.
It can be said that we see the perspective of several characters, starting with that of Rosemary's sister, Iris Marle. She starts with the premise that her sister was not entirely happy and had a lover, but he left her, which leads her to question whether it was in fact suicide. Things get much more interesting when she realizes that all is not what it seems, especially when her sister's widowed husband starts receiving notes.Personally, this book had caught my attention because it is about a beautiful woman named Rosemary Barton, who was everything a woman could want at the time: rich and pretty. So, it's hardly believable that she would want to take her own life with cyanide in her glass, is it?
Es muy entretenido leer este libro porque hay perspectivas diferentes en todos los capítulos, lo que permite conocer más a cada personaje y, al mismo tiempo, desconfiar de todos. La lectura es ligera y está en constante movimiento; nunca te aburres leyéndola.
It is very entertaining to read this book because there are different perspectives in all the chapters, which allows you to get to know each character better and, at the same time, to distrust everyone. The reading is light and constantly moving; you never get bored reading it.
Le daría un 4/5 estrellas, por la ambientación, los personajes y la casi perfecta escena del crimen. A veces pienso que el culpable fue un poco rebuscado, ya que al principio nos pintan otra cosa, pero si tiene sentido al final, entonces no me quejo. ¿Alguna vez han leído un libro de Agatha Christie?
I would give it a 4/5 stars, for the setting, the characters and the almost perfect crime scene. Sometimes I think the culprit was a bit far fetched, as we are painted something else in the beginning, but if it makes sense in the end, then I'm not complaining.Have you ever read an Agatha Christie book?

I haven't read an Agatha Christie book but I'd really love to. And the idea of anyone committing suicide,be it someone far gone in the wonderful aspects of life or not shouldn't be something surprising but it is. It is said,"Money or wealth isn't really the source of some happiness", she probably had other things going on and couldn't stand it anymore. I'd like to read it. Sike, I've added it to my tbr list already.
Muchas gracias por leer el post, a veces el suicidio es aló impredecible pero no todo es lo que parece a veces ;)
