Agatha Christie~Top 4 Mysteries, pt3


Sad Cypress (1940) narrated by David Suchet,
6 hours 2 mins.

\"A variation on the usual triangle theme and the only time Christie uses the lovely-woman-in-the-dock-accused-of-murder ploy. Elegiac, more emotionally involving than is usual in Christie, but the ingenuity and superb clueing put it among the very best of the classic titles. Her knowledge of poison is well to the fore, but the amateur will also benefit from a knowledge of horticulture and a skill in close reading.\"

The ABC Murders (1936) narrated by Hugh Fraser,
6 hours 2 mins.

\"A classic, still fresh story, beautifully worked out. It differs from the usual pattern in that we seem to be involved in a chase: the series of murders appears to be the work of a maniac. In fact the solution reasserts the classic pattern of a closed circle of suspects, with a logical, well-motivated murder plan. The English detective story cannot embrace the irrational, it seems. A total success, but thank God she didn\'t try taking it through to Z.\"

The Hollow (1946) narrated by Hugh Fraser,
7 hours 12 mins.

\"Notable specimen, with more complex characterization than usual, and occasionally rising to wit (especially on the subject of cooking). Illustrates vividly one dilemma of the detective writer: if you establish characters of some psychological complexity, how do you prevent the routine detection stuff coming as an anticlimax? .... Definitely among the top ten, in spite of the falling-off in the second half.\"

Towards Zero (1944) narrated by Hugh Fraser,
6 hours 15 mins.

\"Superb: intricately plotted and unusual. The murder comes later, and the real climax of the murderer\'s plot only at the end. The ingenuity excuses a degree of far-fetchedness. Highly effective story of the child and the bow-and-arrow (part II, chapter 6) and good characterization of the playboy-sportsman central character, very much of that era when one was expected to behave like a gentleman at Wimbledon.\"
