Agatha completes the plan (screenshot and comment) Detective Poirot 1-4 Black Thrush The play is even more misleading. The nephew has changed from a doctor to a theater manager. The existence of twins makes people can't help but suspect that brothers committed the crime. Who knows that both brothers died, but Poirot believes that the suspects are getting fewer and fewer. P. S. The old man in the restaurant in the play was a well-known painter, but he refused to sell his paintings during his lifetime, so Poirot felt that his death would benefit a lot of people, so he visited the model, the gallery agent, and finally his nephew. 1-10 Dreamland The British drama has a high degree of restoration, and it also adds scenes of a young couple and adds distractions. When Poirot solves the puzzle, you will find that the method of the case is not difficult, but everyone just didn't expect (psychological blind spot) to be led away by the murderer throughout the whole process. P. S. Add a loving little theater in the comment area.

Her mystery novels are really good [Love]

I guessed the secretary, not his wife

This book is good and worth reading

It's hard to let go of my grandma's books after reading them one by one.

I swayed left and right in every story. With Poirot's guidance and the emergence of clues one by one, I felt that everyone could commit the crime, but whenever the secret was revealed, there was always a feeling of being in a fog, and the title of the story was too closely related to the story. The "fog" in "Suddenly foggy" should be "enlightenment".

Agatha Christie is such a master. Her plots are always so gripping that I can't stop. Especially "The Corpse in the Snow" and "The Mystery of the Spanish Box" really made my brain race. I think this book is not only a simple mystery novel, but also a profound exploration of human nature and society. Recommended to all friends who like reasoning!

This book is perhaps one of the best choices at Christmas [full]

It's like my grandma's writing practice, and my favorite is the one about the Spanish box.

I like it very much, it looks good

Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the classics.

Short stories are better than short stories

Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking, good-looking

The ending of the female corpse on the snow is completely unexpected and amazing

Pretty good, but a little inferior compared to other works of hers

The case is cleverly reversed. Poirot peels off the cocoon from the subtle clues and exposes the lies of disguise and humanity. The story is short and concise, with exquisite reasoning and hidden analysis of greed and vanity.

It's very beautiful. If you are tired from studying, you can watch it and relax.

Grandma's short story is very interesting, full of Christmas atmosphere, and also reveals human nature.

This is the first time you read this author's work. Do you think it's good? I really like the ending of Lady in the Snow.

It's beautiful and has the characteristics of a detective novel.

A good story, my favorite is "The Mystery of the Spanish Box".
