Endless Night
by Agatha Christie
Endless Night or an Endless Book?
Based on other reviews here, this will be an unpopular opinion. Endless night just wouldn’t ever end. Some of Agatha Christie’s books can be a little slow to start, but this one never got going. To me, it was slow, underwhelming, and lacked any real tension or mystery until the end of the novel. I had to know how it ended though. If this book wasn’t a mystery I would have stopped a third of the way through. Besides a few interactions that piqued my curiosity in the early chapters, the last 30 minutes were the only enjoyable parts in my opinion.
All that being said, Agatha Christie is as surprising and clever as ever. I never saw the ending coming, and it was genuinely satisfying and intriguing. I only wish she had built the plot faster. I’m a big fan of most of her books, but this one wasn’t for me.
