KerrieS reviews TEN LITTLE NIGGERS posted at MYSTERIES in PARADISE, saying, "Christie's best-selling novel with 100 million sales to date, making it the world's best-selling mystery ever, and one of the best-selling books of all time. This title is one of Agatha Christie's most controversial."
ng kai-lee reviews DEATH COMES AS THE END posted at -Zhen's Summer Cafe-, saying, "Set in 2000 B.C. in Thebes, overlooking the Nile River, the plot has a romantic setting as well as an ingenious plot with multiple murders."
BooksPlease presents THE MAN IN THE BROWN SUIT posted at BooksPlease, saying, "The Man in the Brown Suit is an early AC book - a mix of murder mystery and international crime thriller, with a complicated plot - more on the lines of The Secret Adversary than her later books."
Roberta Rood presents "I'm her daughter. I want the truth!" FIVE LITTLE PIGS by Agatha Christie posted at Books to the Ceiling.
BooksPlease presents Crime Fiction Alphabet – Letter M posted at BooksPlease, saying, "Agatha Christie's 6th book - a masterpiece!"
Nan presents LORD EDGWARE DIES posted at Letters from a Hill Farm. "This book was published in America under the title Thirteen At Dinner, which comes from the superstition that it is unlucky to have thirteen diners at a table. It is also said that in the case of thirteen, the one who gets up first will have bad luck."
Margot Kinberg presents The Alphabet in Crime Fiction: Agatha Christie's Mrs. McGinty's Dead posted at Confessions of a Mystery Novelist..... "I’ve a rather sentimental reason for having chosen this book; it was the first Agatha Christie novel I owned, and this was the novel that hooked me on Christie’s work. The edition you see is the copy I got for a birthday when I was a teenager."
Jj presents The Murder of Roger Ackroyd posted at citivolus sus, saying, "Very interesting murder in the small village of King's Abbot. There is gossip, engagements, secret marriages, and murder. Excellent story."
Jo D'Arcy presents Cat Among the Pigeons posted at The Book Jotter, saying, "Review of Cat Among the Pigeons. Followed by another post regarding the TV adaptation." She followed that up with TV Adaptation "Cat Among the Pigeons", saying, "Comments and observations on the TV adaptation of Cat Among the Pigeons."
KerrieS presents Crime Fiction Alphabet: N or M?, Agatha Christie posted at MYSTERIES in PARADISE, saying, "One of the things I find fascinating about Agatha Christie novels is the way they reflect popular fear about infiltration by outside powers."
That concludes this edition.
