Martin, ha!This family at first appeared like others, women fighting for trivial stuff, men proving themselves amongst each other.. But, all of this was just a shallow picture, and Agatha succeded to prove how, deep down people often carry very different emotions than the ones they 'show to the world'.While I was coming to the end of

A trifle, a little, the likeness of a dream. And death comes as the end. Agatha Christie, Death Comes as the EndWhy is does this book not have a solid 5 star average rating? Oh no..my bias is showing.Agatha Christie's "Death comes as the end" is the only one of her books that I feature on my "favorite books of all time list". It differs from many of her books in several ways.First off..there is nothing..I repeat..nothing..cozy about this book. I first read it as a child and do not mind

Nope. I didnt figure out the murderer in this one either...
