![]() ![]() The film and television adaptations I have watched of Agatha Christie works have been more like costume dramas with more than a hint of comedy. ![]() I’d love to watch it, actually, now that I’ve read the book, but sadly it’s not available at the moment. I had also seen a little of the television adaptation from 2018 starring John Malkovich (though I think I only caught a couple of episodes) and it seemed altogether more grounded in the grim reality of its criminal subject. I loved the escapism of Death on the Nile and Murder on the Orient Express and I wanted to see if I would enjoy just as much a murder mystery set in the more prosaic location of London. I’ve read a few Agatha Christie’s in the last couple of years, having never much delved into this genre for most of my reading life. This was the title I chose for May in my Facebook Reading Challenge, the theme of which was classic crime fiction. ![]()
