Black Coffee [#books #review]

by Agatha Christie

Poirot
The Mystery of the Blue Train
Peril at End House


You do not see? It is not necessary that you should see. But I see. That is enough.
Poirot
(Page 89)

The plot and the mistery intrigue weren't particularly original or convoluted, but I still liked this play a lot! In fact I liked the story, as well as the mystery. I loved Poirot, as brilliant and funny as ever. And I really liked the fact that it was a script, the author's detailed indications, the way the clues are shown by the gestures of the characters, too.
I'm really happy and satisfied that I was finally able to read this book!

Quotes

MISS AMORY.: Gentleman are different.
