Agatha Christie, "Evil Under The Sun"

[stapsreads]

Re-read. I don't think I'll be able to read this one again, because I remember too well Who and How, though it's very interesting to follow the plot through with that knowledge. Nobody does misdirection like Christie, and this has one of the many 'accusing parlour' scenes that had me hooked the first time round. It's fascinating now to see how she does it. Questions hidden in plain sight, and all that.

The last sentence still annoys me, though. In the past I'd have given Christie a pass for something like that, because The Past Is Another Country, and all that, but given what she achieved herself, that won't wash.
