Three Act Tragedy - Agatha Christie ... books, published to mark the 80th anniversary of his first appearance. Thirteen guests arrived at dinner at the actor's house. It was to be a particularly unlucky evening for the mild-mannered Reverend Stephen Babbington, who choked on his cocktail, went into convulsions and died. But when his martini glass was sent for chemical analysis, there was no trace of poison -- just as Poirot had predicted. Even more troubling for the great detective, there was absolutely no motive! To mark the 80th anniversary of Hercule Poirot's first appearance, and to celebrate his renewed fortunes as a primetime television star, this title in a collection of facsimile first editions is the perfect way to experience Agatha Christie. Reproducing the original typesetting and format of the first edition from the Christie family's own archive, this book sports the original cover which has been painstakingly restored to its original glory.

Premium Review Three Act Tragedy - Agatha Christie: The stage is set for murder (1063 words)
by - written on 05/03/09 (Very useful, 64 readings)
Rating:

In "Three Act Tragegy" we are invited to a powerful performance in which murder, deceit and romance all take a starring role and Poirot proves that he does not have to appear at all times to be on the centre stage. Beginning at an unobstrusive dinner party hosted by a retired actor named Sir Charles Cartwright, the evening begins as a pleasant diversion for Cartwright and his guests, who include the enigmatic Mr Satterthwaite (one of the few characters to cross over into different Christie "worlds") and Hercule Poirot.

It's different . . . Not terribly cohesive, too many characters and sub - plots .

Quite interesting, Poirot and Hastings reunited. Little depth to it.


Reasonably entertaining, light reading Quite unoriginal and rather weak in parts

A clever story that spans over nearly a decade in it's entirety... Very bleak reading and not the nicest of stories...

Thrilling, intelligent Excessive detail
