A review by vincederr
Crooked House by Agatha Christie

5.0

After nearly 30 years of writing Agatha writes a book that is so perfectly English country side murder mystery. It feels as though she read her first book and thought I could do better. This book is better in every way compared to the Mysterious Affair at Styles. We see this story through the love-struck Charles Hayward. After returning to England, he meets with Sophia Leonides to pick up where they left off. There is one problem, her grandfather Aristide has been poisoned. We follow Charles as he works as an inside man for the police and an outside man for Sophia. This book is full of vibrant characters. I had such a good time with this book. The ending is tragic and perfect. I can see why this was one of Dame Christie’s favorite books.
