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...
The Unexpected Guest is another play by Agatha Christie that was adapted as a novel Charles Osborne - so in short, it is not that great. Of course I am peeved that I ended up with this book because it was advertised as an Agatha Christie novel, and it is not, but I am also astounded Osborne got to...
"‘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...

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...
The story was engaging and clever, and it was mostly well-written. The only problem I had with it was the punctuation. Maybe it's common in the United Kingdom to use single quotes and double quotes the exact opposite of the way they're used on this side of the pond, but, because I don't read impor...
