4:50 from Paddington
by Agatha Christie
This had a lot of fun twists and turns to it, and Agatha Christie has proved once again that she's a phenomenal writer who can make characters jump off a page. I really liked Lucy. I wish I had as much enthusiasm and efficiency at cleaning and cooking as she does.
This one just didn't capture my excitement as much, and the reveal at the end was shocking but I didn't feel as amazed by it as other mysteries. The "mystery" itself didn't start heightening and getting fast-paced until about 75% into it, and by then I was in the mood to get finished with it. I also was kind of bored with all the speculation about which brother Lucy would choose to marry. That added nothing to the plot and felt really oddly placed to me. Was Christie trying to add a romantic angle to get reads, or what?
