by Charles Osborne, Adapted by Charles Osborne, Agatha Christie
Rating: 4 StarsThis book is amazing! I know that it is technically not written by Agatha Christie herself but Mr. Osborne does an amazing job capturing the original Hercule Poirot we Christie fan have come to love. The story was well written and flowed very well. If I didn't know better, I'd say ...
This book sucked which is why I kicked it to the proverbial curb when I got to 40 pages in. I often say that a good DNF review can steer potential readers away from a book that the reviewer articulates why it would be a waste of time. Honestly, all you have to know is that Agatha Christie did not wr...
"‘George,’ he called, ‘please take my heavy tweed suit and my dinner jacket and trousers to the cleaners. I must have them back by Friday, as I am going to the Country for the Weekend.’ He made it sound like the Steppes of Central Asia and for a lifetime." Tweed? No, I cannot....no to Poirot in twe...
This book was the adaptation of a play Agatha Christie had written and you could just tell by the writing that it was a very lanky one. There was no mystery or anything of that kind at all. It was so clearly mentioned that Raynor slipped the tablet in Sir Claud's coffee. Since that moment it became ...

Again, a nice murder mystery sprouted from Christie's imagination. However, one can tell that this one was particularly written as a theatre play, and only later transcribed into a novel.3 stars is perhaps a bit on the low end for this little story, but it doesn't deserve 4 either, when you compare ...
What I like about Agatha Christie novels are that they are like slow poison , they work slowly taking their time and at their epitome they are too good to put down. And black coffee is exactly the same.Sir Claud Amory has devised a new explosive which will take the world by storm. But to his dismay...
This is very enjoyable. You can kind of tell the differnce between what Charles Osborne and Agatha Christiewrote but its a very fun story with quick pacing and good dialog.
I’m not much of a mystery reader, but I’ve never read Agatha Christie and I wanted to, so thus, this book. I read the first fifty pages in a flash. This is not what I’d expected from Agatha, I thought. This is light reading. Lots of dialogue, minimal action.As I looked more carefully at the book, I ...
