Read this decades ago and hated it, but decided to read it again to see if it could really be that bad. It is! At least this time I knew I could skim over the 85% of the text that is filler, and that helped make reading it a little bit bearable -- as long as you don't give it too much thought, because the plot holes are as big as the sky. ( ) This is either pure genius or total insanity. And I honestly don't know which one I'm leaning towards. I've loved all four of the Tommy and Tuppence novels. They've been well written, hilarious, strong mysteries and I've adored every minute. This one had moments of that but it was also fairly scattered. Did Christie plan that? It was apparently the last book she wrote. She would've been 82 years at the time and she was experiencing dementia. Tommy and Tuppence are also of advanced age and experiencing dementia. Did Christie get confused while writing? Or did she plan for the writing to emulate the behaviour of herself and her characters? It made it hard to follow but it also accurately captured the forgetfulness that plagues the elderly. I'm sad that there weren't more Tommy and Tuppence because they were terrific - smart, brave, funny and with a knack for solving crimes. They were supportive of one another and were still as in love by the end as they were from the very start. This might not have been the best Agatha Christie novel but it wasn't a terrible read - just not quite up to the high standards she'd set for the majority of her career. 3 stars. Tommy y Tuppence Beresford creen que es su gruñona tía quien inventa las diversas calamidades que suceden en su vieja residencia de ancianos. Pero no sólo en esta vieja casa encontrarán pistas inquietantes, también en la que acaban de comprar en un pueblecito inglés, y que encierra un antiguo secreto alrededor de un macabro asesinato. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"Tommy and Tuppence Beresford have just become the proud owners of an old house in an English village. Along with the property, they have inherited some worthless bric-a-brac, including a collection of antique books. While rustling through a copy of The Black Arrow, Tuppence comes upon a series of apparently random underlinings. However, when she writes down the letters, they spell out a very disturbing message: "Mary Jordan did not die naturally." And sixty years after their first murder, Mary Jordan's enemies are still ready to kill..."--P. [4] of cover. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
