sib Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Christie's famous Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot retires to an English seaside hotel for a holiday, and soon realises that all is not well with the other guests. When Arlena Stuart, the alluring actress is found strangled in a remote cove the finger of suspicion points to her husband, (Arlena had been flirting quite blatantly with another guest.) But all is not as it seems, and it falls to Poirot to help the baffled police sort out the intricacies of the case. A good page-turner, with the familiar all-the-suspects-in-a-room ending for Poirot to tie up the loose ends and expose the murderer. 7.5 out of 10 :book: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louiseog Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I love AC espcailly her Hercule Poirot stuff. This was a great film too, with Peter Ustinov and I think Joan Collins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I've never read any AC, although I've listened to a few audio books (read by David Suchet) & I especially love Death on the Nile & Murder on the Orient Express. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sib Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 I've always liked the films, and particularly like David Suchet's Poirot on the tele, but Evil Under the Sun is the first Agatha Christie I've actually read. I'll probably read more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilgrim Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Far too short a thread for the best-selling mystery writer. This was a good book but then I heard she only wrote one bad one (Passage to Frankfurt) though I might not find it bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilgrim Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 It's been a while but just read Five Little Pigs and I still like Agatha Christie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Andrea~ Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Five Little Pigs was the first AC I read and I liked it though I gather it's not her best. I'd definitely like to read more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
