A mysterious announcement appears in the local paper which broadcasts that a murder will take place at Little Paddocks that Friday at 6:30 pm. The plot of A Murder is Announced is definitely a delicious one. The fact that they are unlikely is what makes so many of her novels so hard to figure out. You never finish one of her novels without truly believing that the person in question could have carried out those awful deeds. One of the things that set Christie apart from other crime writers is her ability to turn even the least likely people into cold-blooded killers and making it seem credible. Considering how great she is at writing complex and realistic characters, this certainly had to be saying something. A Murder is Announced made her top 10 at the time with Christie claiming that she found all of the characters interesting to write. Though she admitted that her opinion changed constantly, the list included some of her most popular books. In 1972, Agatha Christie compiled a list of her 10 current favourite novels from her oeuvre. The adaptation of this novel is definitely one of the better ones. They made a few changes and modernisations but they capture the spirit perfectly. I also think the ITV adaptations of these novels were fabulous. I think in terms of the books, I prefer a lot of the Poirot novels but who can’t love Miss Marple. In my recent rereadings of her novels, I haven’t actually read any Miss Marple stories yet. As I say every time I review one of her books, she understands people and what might compel them to commit murder. Christie is not only a fantastic writer but she has an incredibly wicked streak.
Considering what the past 12 months have been like, we all need to dedicate more time to the things that make us happy.
Not only are they super easy to get through but they just make me feel happy. It’s becoming something of a tradition that I read at least one Agatha Christie book each month.
