A wealthy Greek businessman is found dead at his London home...

The Leonides were one big happy family living in a sprawling, ramshackle mansion. That was until the head of the household, Aristide, was murdered with a fatal barbiturate injection.

Suspicion naturally falls on the old man's young widow, fifty years his junior. But the murderer has reckoned without the tenacity of Charles Hayward, fiance of the late millionare's granddaughter...

Om forfatteren

Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written towards the end of the First World War, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, who was to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in 100 foreign languages. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.

Medlemmers vurdering

M
Momma – 30.05.2005

– Nei og atter nei.. Etter å ha lest denne boka tror jeg at til og med jeg kunne klart å skrive en kriminalroman. Denne boka har kun en positiv side, og det er at den er ganske greit skrevet. Handlinga er ganske ok, men løsningen på krimgåten er rett og slett patetisk. Det er faktisk så opplagt at man ikke tror at det er svaret fordi det ikke akkurat er typisk Christie løsning. Jeg vil heller anbefale dere en av bøkene med Hercule Poirot, eller Miss Marphle!

O
Onkel Oswald – 09.05.2005

– Aristide blir myrdet i sitt egent hjem og den ung hovedpersonen begynner å etterforske fordi Aristides datter er forlovet med han. Det viser seg å være en vrien nøtt av en gåte.. Boka er ganske ok den, men det er bare det at løsningen i boka rett og slett er tragisk. Det er det som er hovedårsaken til at jeg ikke liker denne boka.. Den er ganske ok skrevet, men den fenger ikke akkurat i lengden.. Det jeg mener er ikke at boka er pyton, for jeg har lest mye dårligere bøker før (og jeg kom trossalt gjennom den..), men den er ikke hva jeg kommer til å lese om igjen...
Jeg anbefaler heller The Murder of Roger Acroyd..
