Ugh. I don't have much more to say than this. I realized that I don't like the Race books as much as the Superintendent Battle books. The book opens on Anne Beddingfeld who recounts how her scattered father ended up dying. She decides that she is going to go to London to live with her family's so...
The Man in the Brown Suit is a very early Christie, published in 1924 on the heels of the second Poirot mystery, Murder on the Links, and right before the first Superintendent Battle mystery, The Secret of Chimneys. In this one, she introduces the enigmatic Colonel Race, who subsequently appears in ...

I was a little disappointed that this is a whole separate story from Symphony, with only a brief reference in the first chapter to the events that took place in the first volume of the series. I was hoping it would be a more legitimate series, with the same core characters appearing in all the novel...
It was hard to rate this book. It didn't seem like an 'Agatha Christie' type of mystery so I was somewhat disappointed. However, for a spy thriller with some romance thrown in, it was really well done. So I averaged my rating to four stars. However, if you like cozy mysteries, it would be worth thr...
Always enjoy an Agatha Christie mystery! Thought Anne Beddingfield was a fantastic heroine, can't wait to read the Miss Marple books and the other books narrated by a female.

This master criminal/espionage plot is unabashedly a romance, while commenting wryly on the Perils of Pauline type of adventure. Anne is one of the most straightforwardly adventurous, practical and brave female characters you'll encounter in Christie, and it's great fun to watch where she'll end up...
