Murder Is Easy (Agatha Christie Collection)

Product Information

I think Christie was also having fun with the idea of a small village being inundated with murders. So many of her novels are set in small communities that they must have started to seem much more dangerous than generally thought. Mind you, even today people move to small towns expecting a safer environment, only to find that human nature is still present and bad things can still happen. Director Meenu Gaur says: "I am part of the worldwide club of Agatha Christie’s fans and followers and therefore thrilled to be shaping one of her works for the screen. I was drawn to the sassy, cool, witty, and not to be messed with women of Murder is Easy and blown away again by how delightful her characters are.”

Retrieved November 14, 2023. So we have Luke trying to figure out who killed previous residents and also barely able to contain his loathing for Bridget's ridiculous fiancee.The first disappointment came with the characters. Unlike a lot of Christie's more well-crafted works (Death on the Nile springs to mind), none of the characters in this novel were particularly engaging. I found that I didn't really care about any of them. The novel concerns the efforts of retired police officer Luke Fitzwilliam to discover the identity of a serial killer, active in the village of Wychwood under Ashe. He learns that the series of deaths were mistaken for accidents by the locals, while the local nobleman Lord Whitfield attributes most of the deaths to divine justice. Luke Fitzwilliam – an ex-police officer in India, who meets on board a train to London one Lavinia Pinkerton, a doomed Miss Marple-type lady who sets the plot in motion even after she is killed off; he is the novice investigator who figures out the killer, but almost too late Una de las primeras novelas que leí de esta autora. Sigue estando entre las que más me han gustado.

Agatha Christie also wrote romance novels under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott, and was occasionally published under the name Agatha Christie Mallowan. This mystery could have easily been one of her good ones has Christie put an effort to enliven the characters and to involve Superintendent Battle more in the course of the investigation, it would have turned out to be a better entertaining story. As it is, it's not one of her best, yet interesting enough to enjoy.The youngest of three children of the Miller family. The Millers had two other children: Margaret Frary Miller (1879–1950), called Madge, who was eleven years Agatha's senior, and Louis Montant Miller (1880–1929), called Monty, ten years older than Agatha.

Following the formula I just mentioned, the book opens with policeman Luke Fitzwilliam on a train and he sees an old lady who tells him about a murder that is going to happen. He does not give it much care until it happens and the lady is killed when he decided to take things into his hands and investigate it, Add to all this mess, some extra romance that the book did not need and you will have the final version of the book! I really saw the romance and wished I was imagining things but it was really there and we could have done without it! I think it was just a way to provide closure to the story! It deserves a remake, it deserves a quality remake, I know one is coming from The BBC/Britbox, I'm intrigued to see what they do with it.Adapted for stage by Clive Exton, directed by Wyn Jones, and performed at the Duke of York's Theatre, London (23 February - 10 April 1993), starring Charlotte Attenborough, Peter Capaldi, Nigel Davenport, Irene Sutcliffe and Ian Thompson. There is a setting of the cozy village where nothing can go wrong but an evil is under play below the nice facade. In 1930, Christie married archaeologist Max Mallowan (Sir Max from 1968) after joining him in an archaeological dig. Their marriage was especially happy in the early years and remained so until Christie's death in 1976. These brand new pictures feature David Jonsson ( Industry, Rye Lane) as Fitzwilliam, alongside Morfydd Clark ( Lord of the Rings, Saint Maud) as Bridget; Penelope Wilton ( Downton Abbey, After Life) as Miss Pinkerton, Tom Riley ( The Nevers, Ill Behaviour) as Lord Whitfield, Douglas Henshall ( Shetland, In Plain Sight) as Major Horton, Mathew Baynton ( Ghosts, Wonka) as Dr Thomas and Mark Bonnar ( World on Fire, Guilt) as Reverend Humbleby. I loved the writing in this book. The atmosphere that Christie evokes in the village is creepy as anything. I maybe turned on more lights while reading this book. I just felt like someone was reading over my shoulder and had a very sharp knife ready to stab me with it.

Miss Marple meets Lavinia Pinkerton on the train, not Luke, and learns from her of her suspicions about the village deaths and her plans to go to Scotland Yard. Yes, murder. You're surprised, I can see. I was myself at first . . . I really couldn't believe it. I thought I must be imagining things.' The first two victims - the village's vicar, and an elderly woman who made home remedies - die differently, the vicar being killed by the murderer's tampering with his beekeeper's mask, causing him to inhale deadly fumes when spraying, and the woman dying after consuming poisonous mushrooms slipped surreptitiously into the pot of stew simmering on her hob. Qué oscuro secreto esconde el pueblo de Wychwood para que muchos de sus habitantes estén muriendo bajo extrañas circunstancias? La señora Pinkerton, una anciana vecina de la localidad, le cuenta al ex policía Luke Fitzwilliam los entresijos de los crímenes recientemente acaecidos allí, además de asegurarle que conoce la identidad del asesino, ya que le ha visto mirar con malos ojos a todas las víctimas justo antes de que aparecieran muertas. Lo que en principio no parece más que una chifladura propia de una lunática, al día siguiente se convierte en algo alarmante: Fitzwilliam lee en la prensa que la anciana ha muerto atropellada y que otro cuerpo sin vida ha sido hallado en Wychwood, justamente lo que la señora Pinkerton le había explicado.
