l1t_n3rd 's review for:
Endless Night
by Agatha Christie
this was, indeed, more soap opera than mystery, but that doesn't mean that i enjoyed it any less. it's a fascinating read, i'd say, and it's very different from christie's other works, but also still very similar. i would say she goes in depth with her characters for, perhaps, the first time for a non-detective character and it's very interesting to read. i am reminded of a phrase that p. g. wodehouse's jeeves uses a lot, "the psychology of the individual"; i would say that this book captures that very well when it comes to mike.
speaking of, i really liked the character writing here. usually christie's character writing isn't remarkable per say, but it's not bad. the characters are developed enough to seem like humans, but you don't get to know much about them past the setting of the mystery. past the setting of the murder, you know nothing. here, however, you get to know, really know, all of the characters and it's fascinating.
i find that i cannot talk about this further without spoilers so i will end my review here. this is unorthodox-christie, but i really like it. i'm not exactly sure if others will share my sentiment or not, but i would say that christie fans would probably like this.
