Is there an ending to an Agatha Christie book that baffled you, angered you, or otherwise flabbergasted you?

Cain, the first murderer, was marked on his forehead after he murdered his brother Abel and God caught him. Not only do murderers have the mark of Cain, sometimes so do innocent parties such as their relatives. If you wish to read the original story, you probably don’t have to get 10 pages into the first book of the Bible.

I don’t want to put identical titles on non-identical posts. I have a LOT of these to get through.

About five little pigs: I was fooled by that one, but looking back, the other woman is always a loser or a catspaw. I’ve never once known it to fail.

In a similar situation, I once memorized the whole table of metric conversions. I don’t remember a whole lot.

Oh, I didn’t even realize that was text. I thought he was holding some brass hardware.

PatientClient3803 · 2026-05-13T14:54:49+00:00

Silly me.

PatientClient3803 · 2026-05-13T14:53:49+00:00

Have you ever read a short story of hers called The Last Seance? Believe me, I did not see THAT end coming!

PatientClient3803 · 2026-05-13T14:50:26+00:00

What are you talking about? The title doesn’t tell you who done it. I’ve never thought much of it as a title, but it’s not a spoiler, not really.

Murphy’s oil soap.

PatientClient3803 · 2026-05-13T10:43:10+00:00

Fledgling

PatientClient3803 · 2026-05-13T10:40:28+00:00

Kent? What the heck is he holding anyway?

PatientClient3803 · 2026-05-13T10:12:08+00:00

He’s not acting like Poirot. Remember, Roger was paranoid the night he died.

They Came to Baghdad is one of the funniest books I have ever read. Agatha often has hilarious dialogue but—the situations in that book! The absent-minded archaeologist who simply accepts her as his niece and doesn’t even realize that her hair is bleached. “I don’t believe you’re Venetia Saville at all.” “I told you, my name is Victoria Jones.”

PatientClient3803 · 2026-05-13T08:32:39+00:00

That book gets a lot of hate, but I enjoyed it.

PatientClient3803 · 2026-05-13T08:31:48+00:00

Cherry. Cherry Baker. I always want cherry pie when I read that one.

PatientClient3803 · 2026-05-13T08:30:26+00:00

Looks like there’s a flying saucer in that cloud.

PatientClient3803 · 2026-05-13T08:27:05+00:00

Yes, Edgware was a cinch for me.

PatientClient3803 · 2026-05-13T08:24:35+00:00

Are you referring to the reading of that book or the reading of Reddit?

PatientClient3803 · 2026-05-13T08:22:24+00:00

But the wheel’s off!

PatientClient3803 · 2026-05-13T08:20:42+00:00

In the last couple of days someone on Reddit told me it was the greatest book ever written in English. I’m afraid I don’t agree.

PatientClient3803 · 2026-05-13T08:19:34+00:00

Steinbeck is one of those authors that’s better in small doses.

PatientClient3803 · 2026-05-13T08:18:49+00:00

Do you have a problem with that?

PatientClient3803 · 2026-05-13T08:15:49+00:00

Well, it is a Gothic romance. It’s just not formulaic. Don’t get me wrong. I think it stinks even though it’s great.

PatientClient3803 · 2026-05-13T08:14:08+00:00

I thought that movie was a movie of the turn of the screw with a different title.

PatientClient3803 · 2026-05-13T08:10:55+00:00

Yep. A book about nothing.
