Woah! This one was good!
It is originally a play that was written as a book but I think that it managed to retain the charm quite well.
Even though what happened was a part of 3 theories of mine about how the book might end, I like how it was executed.
I'd totally recommend this one to mystery fans out there. The audiobook is around 3 hours 30 mins long so it's perfect to listen to on a boring day.

Even a second rate Christie is still not a bad read. A character piece more than a plot, there are character turns that simply don't add up, especially in the last two chapters, where revelations and counter-revelations come thick and fast. You can guess the ending relatively quickly, but even once you know the ending, you still are left with many characterization and motivation questions unanswered, some quite significant. You don't need to have a twisty plot in a Christie drawing room mystery, but if you don't, motivation has to be the center, and it just doesn't hold.
Blown away! Listened to the audio book. Absolutely lovely ❤

Quick, highly improbable, bordering on absurd, slightly problematic and tons of fun, The Unexpected Guest is a marginally silly read that is perfect to past the time. I thought I wouldn't like this because it isn't 100% Agatha, but honestly, I did not feel anything significant change here seeing that this is an adaptation. Originally a play, I just accepted that most (if not all) of the action happened within literally a single room and its general vicinity. The characters here were standard to the Christie universe, though I guess that because they were created for a live audience, their eccentricities have been dialed up making them more cartoony than usual. Some were fine, some felt forced. Like usual, I found myself switching my guilty party several times. I love it when authors make me do that. Or playwright?
After reading classics and thrillers, I wanted an old school whodunit as a palette cleanser. Wish fulfilled! I read the hardback novelization while listening to the audiobook narrated by Christie legend, Hugh Fraser. That is always a good time! The Unexpected Guest is recommended!
