Of course the revelation has a few ridiculous parts but it's still *believable* so it comes across as inspired rather than frustrating. The book is full of stereotypes but they're entertainingly written and she subverts them a bit. Nothing that would surprise anyone who knows what Christie does, just a solid book with some examples of the flair that shows she was a pretty good writer. "It is romantic, yes," agreed Hercule Poirot. "It is peaceful. The sun shines. The sea is blue. But you forget, Miss Brewster, there is evil everywhere under the sun." Christie, Agatha. Evil Under the Sun: A Hercule Poirot Mystery (Hercule Poirot series Book 23) (p. 19). HarperCollins. Kindle Edition. On holiday at the Jolly Roger seaside resort, Poirot finds himself caught up in a murder when Mrs. Arlena Marshall is found dead. But Poirot has his work cut out for him when all the likely suspects - like her husband and lover have solid alibis. An intricately plotted murder mystery with lots of red herrings that I once again couldn't crack. A detective I am not. But it was fun to read along and guess who might have committed the crime. I did get a few things right (okay only one thing) - I guessed that I was a bit disappointed by the ending though. I would've liked for Another great murder mystery from Agatha Christie. 3.5 stars, rounded to 4 stars. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

The classic Evil Under the Sun, one of the most famous of Agatha Christie's Poirot investigations, has the fastidious sleuth on the trail of the killer of a sun-bronzed beauty whose death brings some rather shocking secrets into the light. The beautiful bronzed body of Arlena Stuart lay face down on the beach. But strangely, there was no sun and Arlena was not sunbathing?she had been strangled. Ever since Arlena's arrival the air had been thick with sexual tension. Each of the guests had a motive to kill her, including Arlena's new husband. But Hercule Poirot suspects that this apparent "crime of passion" conceals something much more ev Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

She, being Arlena Stuart, a beautiful siren, and wife of Captain Marshall. Who on this island of leisure could have done it? “It all boils down to this - was it an outsider, or a guest at the hotel?” Or a jealous husband? Well, Hercule Poirot just so happens to be vacationing at said island, so the job falls to him! A job he is well suited for!
A fun read, one that kept me guessing until all was revealed and I'd discovered that I was wrong on my first, second, and third guesses! And when Poirot suggests the picnic at the end? Très bien! A thoroughly good read and a fun puzzle to attempt to put together!
“Yes, darling,” said Mr. Gardener. (every time that popped up, it gave me a smile!)
“Nothing is needed but physical strength - and the soul of a killer!” ( )
