WHY THIS BOOK?:
It has been quite some time since I decided to read a book by Agatha Christie. Right after my thoughtful hubby bought me a lovely “Kindle Touch” for the St. Valentine’s, I had access to almost all books of this great crime writer. I am so excited about using my kindle so in a short time I may end up reading more and more books by Agatha Christie.

THE STORY:
Charles is a young man who fell in love with Sophie Leonide, but, due to unfortunate events, they cannot marry. Now, years later, Sophie’s grandfather has been murdered by poisonous injection. Charles, along with his police officer father and a detective, investigates the Leonides’ house to solve the crime. However, he discovers that Sophie’s relatives are all crooked in some way and they all live together in a crooked house.

As Charles goes around the Crooked House, he discovers that all the suspects seem to have a reason and are capable of murdering poor Aristide Leonide. Everyone knew that the medicine could be dangerous and fatal. Who could it be?

MY COMMENTS:
Many people who read that book were surprised by the killer. For me, it was kind of disappointing as my guess about the criminal turned out to be true. I’m generally not good at solving criminal mysteries so maybe I was just lucky. Still, at the end of the day, it affects if you love the book or not. Agatha Christie described the writing of this book as “pure pleasure”. Well, for me, the reading of this book was just OK but I think it is worth giving a try as many people were happy with being misdirected throughout the book. Who knows, maybe you are one of them!oked House
