Taken at the Flood by Agatha Christie

rld1727's review against another edition

4.75

Points docked for the part where

a character realizes their love for someone after that someone tries to kill them (yikes)

; otherwise, really enjoyed! 

I say it on all of my Poirot reviews, but I really don’t think we talk enough about how funny Agatha Christie’s books are.

Puaro aktyviai į siužetą įsitraukia tik viduryje knygos, daug dėmesio skiriama aplinkybių ir veikėjų santykiams. Nusikaltimo atskleidimas buvo idomus, nors kiek nuspėjamas. Paskutinis skyrius - gadina kūrinį, daug nepridėdamas.

The last chapter is abominable, though a representation of its time it ruins the entire book, that until that point was one of Christy's more elaborate and we'll-crafted mysteries.

"Há uma maré nos assuntos dos homens que , quando pega na cheia conduz à fortuna... Sim, a maré enche... mas também vaza... e pode levá-lo embor para o mar."
