Title:Evil Under The Sun
Genre:Mystery
Author:Agatha Christie
Review:
This book is about a murder case happening in Leathercombe Bay.The victim was Arlena Stuart.She was found strangled to death in Pixy's Cove.This case was not a simple one and Hercule Poirot,together with Inspector Colgate and Colonel Weston had managed to solve the case eventually at the end of the story.
This story is pretty interesting and entertaining.However,I found it a little boring at the beginning of the story and skipped to the part where the police started investigating for the murder case. I liked how the way the writer left some hints and let us have a part in guessing who were the actual killers.It is surprising when Hercule Poirot revealed the whole process of how the killers planned the murder so well and the motive for doing it.It happened to be that Arlena Stuart was not a bad woman as she appeared to be in front of the others.She was actually being fooled by the killers and cheated for her money,not the other way round like others might have thought.
This murder case is also a special one as it had a certain similarity to a case happened before.In each case the husband has got a cast-iron alibi.Later in the story,it found out that both the case was done by same killers.The killers are meant to cheat money and insurances from women who desperately need love.
The writer had also put in several suspects which made you believed they were the real killers.There was a part where one of the suspect attempted to kill herself as she thought she was the one who caused the death of her stepmother,Arlena Stuart.She did witch craft on her and cursed her on the day when she died,making her believe that it was the her attempt on witch craft that killed her stepmother.(which she did not,in actual fact)This part is quite exciting to read as the story took another twist.There was also a part where the detective noted that all the bodies under the sun looked the same,suggesting that somebody might have faked Arlena Stuart before she was actually being killed.For that,I really applaud for the cleverness of the killers who thought of this point,faking a dead corpse first.
In my opinion,I think this book is good for leisure reading.I do not highly recommend it if someone crave for a more exciting and adventurous mystery case.
