6/19/2023 0 Comments Agatha christie under the sunI did like the plot of this book, and the holiday setting and the closed environment, but the emphasis was more on the puzzle than the characters or the psychology. I had plenty of favorite characters who I did NOT want to be the culprit. This was not one where I even had a clue who was guilty. The solution to the crime reveals a complex plan which surprised me. There is a huge cast of characters and it is easy to get confused. There are many possibilities among the guests at the Jolly Roger Hotel, and Poirot works with the local police to solve the crime.Īs usual for an Agatha Christie novel, this is a clever and entertaining story. Or maybe it is the younger man's wife, mousy and pale compared to Arlena. Arlena has been obviously dallying with a younger male guest. First the actress's husband is suspected. A beautiful, shallow, and self-centered actress, Arlena Marshall, is killed and the murderer must be one of the guests on the island. In this story, Hercule Poirot is on a holiday at the Jolly Roger Hotel, on Smugglers’ Island, Leathercombe Bay, off the coast of Devon.
