Loading... The Hollowby Agatha Christie
  
 Alishadt | Feb 25, 2023 |  I am not ashamed to say that she got me - I didn't figure it out before the reveal. My money was on the wrong persom as the murderer. I take pride in solving the mysteries before the author reveals the culprit, but this not the first time Christie has stumped me. This is a great plot with her usual quirkey characters and of course, the magnificent Poirot. It's been a while since I read a Christie book andI had forgotten how well she writes. This is a very readable story for the mystery lover and it has a couple of unique twists a la Christie. (  ) Al-G | Jan 28, 2023 | Poirot arrives at his neighbours' for lunch only to find Gerda Christow standing over her husband's body with a gun. It looks too staged to be real. And yet John Christow is dead. I found most of the characters in this one rather tiresome and the murder delayed far too long. (  ) Robertgreaves | Oct 16, 2022 | The Hollow by Agatha Christie is an Hercule Poirot mystery.

[return][return]Poirot takes a back seat for the first half of the story, as the different new characters and their relationships are set up.[return][return]Then Poirot - living in his cottage in the country - is invited to lunch at the "big house" nearby, and when he arrives, finds John Christow dying beside the pool, his slow and dimwitted wife standing over him with a gun.

Agatha Christie's ingenious mystery thriller, reissued with a striking new cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers. Lucy Angkatell invited Hercule Poirot to lunch. To tease the great detective, her guests stage a mock murder beside the swimming pool. Unfortunately, the victim plays the scene for real. As his blood drips into the water, John Christow gasps one final word: 'Henrietta'. In the confusion, a gun sinks to the bottom of the pool. Poirot's enquiries reveal a complex web of romantic attachments. It seems everyone in the drama is a suspect - and each a victim of love. No library descriptions found.

But of course the misdirection and plotting were excellent. In fact, I was just positive that Agatha was clumsily sign-posting that a certain person was the culprit, and I was prepared to be disappointed by how easy it was to figure it out.
I should have known better. :) (
