“What more . . . can a mystery addict desire?”—New York Times

 

“A brilliantly ingenious story.”“It’s tempting to say that Agatha Christie is a genius and let it go at that, but the world’s had plenty of geniuses. Agatha Christie is something special.”“[Moves] smoothly and entertainingly to its surprise conclusion.”“Nothing short of swell. [Christie] is probably the best suspicion scatterer and diverter in the business.”“Need it be said—the little grey cells solve once more the seemingly insoluble. Mrs Christie makes an improbable tale very real, and keeps her readers enthralled and guessing to the end.”“What more…can a mystery addict desire?”“Agatha Christie’s books are both wonderful crime novels and studies in contrast and duality, and I adore them still. Underestimate them at your peril.”“Reading a perfectly plotted Agatha Christie is like crunching into a perfect apple: that pure, crisp, absolute satisfaction.”lÓ#
