Summary: Murder IS Easy!
Review: Have you ever been murdered? Of course not, but in Murder is Easy, a classic mystery by Agatha Christie, you'll be sucked into the job of solving a murder case. Agatha Christie fills Murder is Easy with misleading clues and suspicious characters. If you've never read an Agatha Christie book, this should definately be your first.
As a mystery lover, I was shocked at this novel when it went far beyond my expectations. Christie uses vivid adjectives and twist the plot incredibly. A downside to the book was its vocabulary. At times the words were very confusing. For example, on page 244 Luke comments, "I decided to accept Mrs. Waynflete's invitation to abide in her house, and I resolved to try to ferret the truth out of her. All in all, I would rate the book four stars and would highly recommend it to any Agatha Christie lover.

Summary: Classic Christie, refreshingly solvable.
Review: I hardly need speak about Agatha Christie, deservedly the best-selling mystery novel author of all time. Murder is Easy is one of her best novels, being typically easy to read, obviously contrived and yet filled with plot twists and misdirections. During the exposition of the plot the reader cannot help but be seduced by the unravelling of the mystery, and it all seems, indeed, a little too easy... but with a breathtaking twist in the tail everything is turned around more than once. In retrospect it seems so simple, and all the clues are there. And yet the reader is almost guaranteed not to guess the ending. The only thing to add is that this is one of the few Christies where the pleasure of detection and mystery is leavened with the tension of personal risk to the main characters. The final few chapters in particular took my breath away when I first read the book. Written in the 1930s and yet still as accessible today as it ever was, this is a book well worth reading for both the Christie fan and the generalist reader of detective fiction. Read it and see why Christie is the Queen of Crime.

Summary: Very suspenseful!
Review: I never suspected who the killer was until the very end. Agatha Christie picks the least likely murderer and makes it all sound so sane in the end. She is still the reigning queen when it comes to this ability. I believe this particular novel has been made into a Poirot mystery episode on a certain channel. I must warn Poirot and Miss Marple fans that neither of those characters make an appearance in this novel. Since I purchased the book without glancing at the back cover, I was a bit disappointed when I discovered that.

Summary: This is why your mother told you not to talk to strangers
Review: Luke Fitzwilliam has just returned home to England after several years working in the East. As he settles into a train compartment on the way to London he strikes up a conversation with an elderly woman who reminds him of one of his aunts. She tells him a strange story of murders in her village, giving him details of the crimes and relating how she is on her way to Scotland Yard to try and stop the murderer before there is another death. Luke listens to her with half an ear and then forgets the incident after his arrival in London. He is reminded though when he sees that his traveling companion was killed in a street accident shortly after they parted company. He is further surprised to hear that the person named as the next victim has in fact died suddenly. He decides to investigate further, travels to the village and begins become involved in the village life. While there Luke meets the usual village ensemble, the old maids, local doctor and family, local lord of the manor and his household and others. Luke begins to find certain disturbing aspects on the local scene that convince him that the outrageous stories he had been told just might be the truth after all. This is a departure from Christie's usual work, there are no appearances by Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple however Sgt. Battle does make an appearance at the very end of the story. Luke Fitzwilliam is one of Dame Agatha's one appearance only heroes which is a pity. He and his romantic interest quite charming, it would be nice to meet them again.

Summary: Enjoy This Great Cozy Village Mystery from Agatha Christie
Review: Miss Lavinia Fullerton is a typical English spinster. In fact, she is very reminiscent of Miss Marple and the charming elderly ladies that inhabited the cozy villages of England in the time between the two World Wars. While travelling on a train to London, she chats with Luke Fitzwilliam, a young policeman, about all the murders that have been taking place in her village of Wychwood under Ashe. Her subsequent death in London traffic involves Luke in this cozy village mystery. The novel is populated with the basic village characters: doctor, lawyer, vicar, several elderly ladies, a retired military man, and one precocious young boy. Luke will suspect just about all of them at one point or another in the story, but in a tense and thrilling ending, all is revealed. This entertaining book became a 1982 made-for-tv movie starring Bill Bixby as Luke and Helen Hayes as Lavinia.
