I've only read A Pocketful of Rye, and I thought it was pretty much a waste of my time. It's one of those books that has such a unsatisfactory resolution that it has an extra reveal at the end, where one letter clarifies everything that went before, and proves the guilt of the murderer. It's as if Christie wasn't confident enough to leave it, and thought "fuck it, it's either this to wrap it up, or 'it was all just a dream'". Sorry that you think that, Darknessfish. "Different strokes," right? If you'd ever like to give AC another try, though, I'd advise one of the ten I listed above. I might well give her another go sometime, I guess I prefer 'crime fiction' to 'murder mysteries' though. I had a similar reaction to the Sherlock Holmes stories I've read, and I keep meaning to pick those up for another shot sometime. |
