"Since she was a woman of disconcertingly rapid thought processes, Lady Angkatell, as was her invariable custom, commenced the conversation in her own mind, supplying Midges answers out of her own fertile imagination. The conversation was in full swing when Lady Angkatell flung open Midges door.And so, darling, you really must agree that the weekend is going to present difficulties! Eh? Hwah! Midge grunted inarticulately, aroused thus abruptly from a satisfying and deep sleep."A house party inOne of my friends gave me this book and told me all good things about it. I knew this already that like other Agatha's books I have read before, this book is also going to blow my mind. Though I planned the last part of the book to read only after exams and I promised myself not to touch it.But as it happens always, I had to break my promise to read it. Now that I know the murderer I can live in peace!
I don't think I'm gonna include this one into my still short list of great detective stories by Agatha Christie. The mystery wasn't quite intriguing, although her narrative did mislead me a bit (I should've trusted my gut more, Lol). But I think all the characters were great. By great, I mean, they were all unique and were told in a funny way sometimes. Gerda and Lucy were the ones with the most unique and funniest personality. The way they talk and think were hilarious.

Reading the book I realized all the jackasses in the world fall into two categories: regular run-of-the mill variety every one of us encounter daily and John Christow.The
I chose The Hollow to be the first book of Agatha's that I read in its original language. I've read all of Agatha's books but a few, all translated in Arabic, and I had a slight fear that I wouldn't like it in English. But I liked it much better in English.I've seen the adaptation of The Hollow some years ago. I liked it very much, and naturally when I read the book two days ago I had a very clear idea about the ending.But my previous knowledge didn't prepare me for the actual depth of the
I've read this a few times already, but it never ceases to fascinate me. What got me this time was the pure malevolence of Lucy. So sweet. So charming. Such a good hostess. And without a doubt, a complete sociopath (or is it psychopath?). (OK. I have to take back the bit about a good hostess since she was considering killing one of her guests so things wouldn't be so difficult for her cousin.)To me, she is one of the most frightening characters ever created. Forget about Hannibal....Lucy has him
