I read many of Christie's books in Chinese back in my high school days. I was addicted to it at the time. This is the first time I read her book in English. I have to admit that it's quite different to read it in English. There are some expressions that I am not familiar with especially those are pa ... (continue)

剛好翻到這本書就又讀了一次. 不記得在哪本書裡看到的, 認為寫推理小說的作家通常第一本寫得最好, 覺得還真是蠻應驗在這本書上. 也因此去找了克莉斯汀的"And Then There Were None"來看, 兩者間的相似性果然很高. 這本書的結局很出人意料, 再看一次還是覺得蠻精采的, 喜歡本格推理的, 尤其是喜歡當偵探與作者挑戰的, 應該要看看, 不會令你失望唷.

This book is in a way quite different from the other Christie books that I've read. The major part of this book is more on the profiling side. The story starts with a letter sent to Poriot challenging him about his ability to solve mystery crimes. Then series of murders occured after each letter which leads the police and Poriot to think if there was a cold-blood murder who kill for fun and not for personal gain. During the course of inverstigation, various people of interest were intrduced and gathered together in the effort of catching the killer. However, Poriot asked the most important question right from the start and in the end it did prove that his haunch was correct.
I always enjoy reading Chrstie's novels since they always allows to do my own detective work along with it. I had a great time reading this book and was pround to say that I solve the mystery too.
