Summary: Her best written novel.
Review: Many reviews talk about the contents, the thrill, the surprise
end, etc.
We all know she is a wonderfull writer, but I think that this
book is where she excels herself. Yes, the ending is very surprising! So read it again, and you will get more surprises,
because you will see that she tried to tell it in between the lines. Then you read it again, and maybe you will notice even
more.

Summary: One of the best late Agatha Christies
Review: Michael Rogers is a simple chauffeur, whose only contact with wealth is through his rich and famous passengers. While dropping off a passenger in Kingston Bishop, Rogers discovers "the Towers," a decrepit Victorian house up for auction. He immediately falls in love with the beautiful location, Gipsy's Acre, the house is build on, but of course he can only dream of owning such a property. Then the impossible happens: he falls in love with the wealthy Ellie Goodman. Before long, they are Mr. and Mrs. Rogers and Gipsy's Acre is theirs. But when Mrs. Lee warns them of the curse, their luck seems to have come to an end.Of Endless Night (1967) Agatha Christie claimed that it was one of her favourites and I can certainly see why. The ingenious plot manages to avoid death itself for no less than the first three quarters of the book. Only near the denouement does the book become a detective story. At first the story tends to be perceived as long and tedious, but when all clues finally come together, the significance of that happened before can only amaze the reader. Quite remarkable for an Agatha Christie novel is the strongly developed characters. Whereas Christie in most of her later works seems engulfed by the idea that the modern youth is lazy and completely useless, in Endless Night she clearly proves the opposite. Never are the main characters depicted as a caricature. When you know the solution to the mystery you will understand that she did this with a reason.

Summary: Melodramatic
Review: Michael Rogers, a man who lives with his own way, falls in love with Ellie Guteman, a 21 years old American girl, who turns out to be the richest girl in America. They get married and build house on Gypsy's Acre. Soon the newleyweds find out that they are supposed to pay more intention with the curse that falls upon the land. I've been a fan of Christie since I was, like, 12 years old. I've read almost all of her crime novels and I must say, if you're a truly Christie fan, you won't get disappointed with this one. Endless Night was more melodramatic than the others I've read. The murder wasn't come until half of the book and even so, there wasn't any rapid investigation like when she writes about Poirot and Miss Marple. But the ending was surely Christie's style

Summary: Chilling account of betrayal, murder and evil.
Review: One of Christies best, in my opinion. Held my interest from start to finish, and no, you cannot see the ending coming in the first chapter! Excellent book, and one Christie herself said was the most "evil" book she had written. I went back to reread it immediatly after finishing. Scene in the begining with the gypsy, excellant understated writing.

Summary: ****
Review: Psychologically interesting, you might be shocked by the ending, which, as usual, serves up. However, if you have read The Murder of Roger Acroyd (a must!), then this book is merely a waste.

Summary: A superb, unusual Christie book
Review: Readers of "Murder On The Orient Express", "Death On The Nile", "Crooked House" or other classic Christie titles may be surprised by this 1967 book. The basic plot idea has been used before by the authoress, and yet "Endless Night" is completely unlike any other book in Christie's whole canon. It is, however, without doubt one of her finest, and arguably the best she wrote in her later years. The atmosphere and pace are beautifully sustained, and the ending is positively remarkable. This is a quiet, chilling book; all of the "cosy" murder mystery element found in the Christie books of the 1930s are banished to create an even more sinister novel of very high quality. Essential reading for any Christie fan, and worth investigating anyway, because this really is a very fine book.
