Summary: Dame Agatha at her best!
Review: I am an Agatha Christie collector and this is one of my favorites. Except for 2 novels and 3 Short Story collections, I have her entire collection of writings. The adventures of Miss Beddingfield and her new found friends will keep Chrisie fans on the edge of their seats, waiting for the next clue to be unraveled. Definitely a novel for any true Christie fan to add to their collection!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best books of Agatha Christie
Review: I loved the book "The man in Black suit". When I started reading nobody could stoped me. I remeber that I felt sad after I read because the story ended and I wanted that it go on. I love it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best books of Agatha Christie.
Review: I really love this book, even though there's no Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple.In fact, some of the books without these marvellous characters are much more exciting.The suspense in "The Man in the Brown Suit" is great. The plot is superb, because the ending surprised me a lot!I also liked the bit of romance in it.The other books which are my favourites are 'The Secret of Chimneys' and "Why Didn't They Ask Evans?".

Summary: A Great Read!
Review: I saw the TV-movie before I read the book (From the Agatha Christie Mysteries a few years back). I was more than pleasantly surprised to see that the characters were similar, even if they weren't the same ... TV's fault, not Ms. Chritie's.

I have always loved Agatha Christie's work, but this is one of my faves aside from the Partners in Crime series. Although there is a murder, the book is not dark and oppresive. In fact, it gets rather light-hearted at a few points.

I don't know about you, but my library wouldn't be complete without it!

Summary: A touch of Wodesian in Perils of an English Adventuress
Review: I suppose like characters in PG Wodehouse, many educated English girls yearn to break free from the bindings of the Victorian society as the world appeared to be open to them, with past explorers having blazed the trails and the availability of modern transportation such as steamers and railroads to take them beyond the horizons where thousands had gone before. Oh, and of course the proliferation of trashy adventure thrillers also helped spark off their imagination; few glamourous adventure heroines suffered from sea-sickness or the availability of dashing boyfriends always there for them.

When Anne, an orphaned English young lady, witnessed a death in the London tube, she found herself drawn into a real adventure without any clues to what she was really going after. All she had were vague clues that she had seen the "man in the brown suit", who was known to be present at two apparently unrelated deaths, one being the supposed accident at the tube, another was a strangled woman in the house belonging to an English MP Sir Eustace Pedler.

Finding herself on board a cruise to South Africa, Anne found the web of intrigue expanded to include several more persona dramatis; the events seemed to surround these people whom all appear to be totally legitimate.

Slowly, she learned that the affair was somehow related to one of the most daring diamond theft that occurred years ago, to a mysterious criminal organisation led by a shadowy mastermind known only as the Colonel, and with the luck of the British, she only got a couple of attempts on her life. Of course, just to make things a little bit more interesting, she found herself drawn to a man who personally declared he would strangle women with his bare hands.

Although the background of South Africa had certain significance to the plot, like the attitudes of most colonials of the time, the native colour and people were relegated far to the background.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Agatha's best
Review: I think this is one of Agatha Christie's best ever! A classic of mystery, and more than that, a great romance. My favorite of her books. Read it 10 times and still love it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW!
Review: I think this is one of the BEST work of myatery by Agatha Christie. Not only was the plot intriguing, the murderer (murderess?) was totally unexpected. I mean, in ALL her books, the murderer is unexpected, but I usually guess who it is. (I'm not boasting!)But in this book, I HAD my theories as to who the murderer was, but when I learnt who the real person was.. I was stunned! OK, I think I've said enough. Time for you to read it yourself & find out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A different world
Review: I truly enjoyed this book, it is one of my favourite amoung Agatha Christie's works.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: BORING!
Review: I'm a 13 year old looking for an adventure, and my school library had this. I thought i'd give it a shot since my sister read the ABC murders and liked it. I got about 2 pages in and practically fell ASLEEP! I got to all of 50 pages before i couldn't stand it and gave it back. WORST BOOK I'VE EVER READ!!!!!!
