এই আগে আগাথা ক্রিস্টির মিস মার্পল সিরিজ পড়েছিলাম। বেশ ভালো লেগেছিলো। তাই পূর্ণাঙ্গ উপন্যাস পড়ে অসম্ভব রোমাঞ্চিত হয়েছি। টুইস্ট ছিলো চমৎকার!

I was 13 when I read my first Agatha Christie novel for a summer book review project. It was The Mysterious Affair at Styles . I absolutely hated the book then; unable to understand why it was such a hit and considered as an iconic detective murder mystery story. Ten years on, I still feel that way with Ms Christie's works.
I listened to The Unexpected Guest over a week while cooking my meals and prepping the veggies. A little over 3 hours, it's a fairly short book and quite a breeze to go through. Originally written as a play, the entire book unfolds in one room over a few days. The remarkable voice of Hugh Fraser is the only saving grace. The plot is predictable from the first scene and despite being a short book, I felt like it dragged on too far. It hits every murder mystery cliche like a winning bingo ticket. If someone figures out by Agatha Christie is considered the queen of murder mystery and mayhem, please let me know. I am searching for the answers harder than Poirot the culprit.
I have started Death on the Nile and let's see how that unfolds. (I think I just want to listen to Hugh Fraser's voice)

For the short triller this was pretty good. You can predict the end (or not), but it's still good.
I didn't know quite where this was going especially with the interesting way Christie started the plot. BUT MY GOSH THAT ENDING!! Short but sweet! It was full of plot twists and good dialogue conversations between characters which makes you think you are present in the room and really brings the story to life.
I've seen a theater performance of this book which was great. The book is pretty much exactly the same, but seeing it live added something which the book lacked. Meh.
Oh hey, I thought this would do a nice play only to find out it is actually a play! Agatha Christie’s writing is light, entertaining and surprising as usual. Not her best but definitely good.
