The Hollow


The Hollow by Agatha Christie is a murder mystery with a romantic twist. Yet another one of Christie's classic crime fictions, I found it a page turned, exciting, and, at the end, surprising. While I like And Then There Were None better, I still found this book great and a good read.

Curtain


In the final story of the well-known Belgian detective, Curtain brings Hercule Poirot and his friend Captain Arthur Hastings to the place of there first mystery, Styles. Although it has been a long time since the murder, it still lingers in the air, and Poirot knows that homicide will happen soon.

Although starting out with a slow beginning, it soon picks up. Most of the novel I found myself eagerly waiting for the murder or trying to prove my beliefs, beliefs that were proven to be wrong, correct. Christie makes you consider every possibility before revealing the identity of "X".

And Then There Were None

First there were ten...and then there were none. IN Agatha Christie's mystery ten people are sent to Indian Island and one of them is a murderer? Who is it and who will be the next victim?

I thought this book was exciting, creepy, and mysteriou. I don't usually like mystery but I have been inspired.
