Also, the best laid plans ….. Christie wrote this one as a charitable effort, but given it’s awkward length was unable to find a publisher… until it was issued as an inexpensive e-book. It’s still a good story and long enough for a typical Christie plot twist that I could almost, but not quite, see coming. The best thing about this story is the wonderful pair up of Poirot and the wacky, mystery novelist Ariadne Oliver. Why have a fake murder at your fundraising fete? A real one is so much better. (  ) msjudy | May 30, 2016 | ) ffortsa | Jun 7, 2014 | A humor laced colorfully detailed narrative winds a devious multi-leveled mystery. Characters are authentic, varied, and entertaining. Overall, an enjoyable read. (  ) catya77 | Apr 20, 2014 | ) Kathy89 | Apr 16, 2014 | nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: Never before publishedâ??the lost classic, unseen for sixty years! A party game goes dead wrong in this ingenious mystery from the most beloved novelist of all time. Hercule Poirot, the world's favorite detective, has agreed to take part in a mock murder mystery in a charming English villageâ??but when tragedy strikes, a different sort of game begins ... In 1954, Agatha Christie wrote this novella with the intention of donating the proceeds to a fund set up to buy stained glass windows for her local church at Churston Ferrers, and she filled the story with references to local places, including her own home of Greenway. But, having completed it, she decided instead to expand the story into a full-length novel, Dead Man's Folly, which was published two years later, and donated a Miss Marple story (Greenshaw's Folly) to the church fund instead. Unseen for sixty years, Hercule Poirot and the Greenshore Folly is finally published in this ebook-exclusive edition Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

At the village fete Lady Hattie Stubbs, the hostess, disappears when she should have been doing something official. At the same time Ariadne Oliver's worst fears are realised when the victim of her mock murder mystery at the fete is found strangled. Later the gardener's father, who'd dropped a few cryptic lines into Hercule Poirot's ear, also dies. Lady Stubbs is never found and it is finally Hercule Poirot who works out what has happened to her, and just who Sir George Stubbs is.
This is longer than a short story, and about half the size of a full length novel. (
