Sad Cypress - Agatha Christie

to be involved at all. In this story, unlike many others, Poirot seems to operate largely in the background and to take far less of the centre stage.

Why Didn't They Ask Evans? - Agatha Christie

Published in 1934 "Why didn't they ask Evans" is one of Christie's novels which might best be classified under the heading of "adventure story", with similarities between it and "The Man in the Brown Suit", "The Secret of Chimneys" and "The Seven Dials Mystery".

(Christie also used the mysterious message by a dying man at the start of "The Big Four") and when Bobby notices a photograph of a ...
