Christie´s books fall into two categories for me: the ones I enjoy the most are the books, where I don´t have a clue what is going on and who the murderer is. As soon as I suspect someone, it takes some enjoyment out of the story for me. Lord Edgware Dies turns out to be a better installment in th...
Respectively, these books are numbers 8 & 9, with Peril being published in 1932, followed close at hand by Lord Edgware, which was published in 1934. Also in 1934, she published one of her best known novels, The Murder on the Orient Express. I thoroughly enjoyed both books, and it is difficult t...
Lord Edgware started off a bit bumpy for me due to some of the racial slurs and stereotypes that were being thrown around by some of the characters. I really did have a hard time going on with the book after the "n" word was said. I literally closed it and said the hell with this. What disturbs me i...
I don't remember if I've ever read this book in the past but I remember watching the movie version on TV so I knew who was the murderer. As usual, I really enjoyed how the author gave you some clues from the beginning and hoodwinked you with certain details.Two things to note: first, the cover has N...
This is one of my favourites in the long Poirot series of Agatha Christie. What I particularly like about this story is that it gives you more insight in the way Poirot thinks about a case and gets to the truth than in the others. It also really gives a lot of interesting settings and information to...
Agatha Christie will never fail to surprise me. I love how she twists her story in a way that leaves her readers guessing, suspecting and frustated at not knowing who the killer is. Hercule Poirot is the best, funny how he is never outwitted. I feel sorry for Carlotta. At first, I had my suspicions ...
Most Christie books are great and this is no exception. I found the solution a little convoluted. The criminal did not seem to have the brain power to actually be so efficient at murder, so I found the solution a little skewed.
I swear I've watched almost all but the most recent Mystery Theaters of Hercule Poirot and read at least 65% of Agatha Christie books. This is a more familiar story and has been on TV but none of it came to me as I was listening to it. Hugh Fraser did a fantastic job. Too bad he looks so English ...
