Book Reviews of Agatha Christie A to Z: The Essential Reference to Her Life & Writings (Critical Companion)
Book Review: BEWARE!
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is very well researched. However potential buyers should be aware of a very glaring flaw. The introduction concludes by saying "And, by the way, none of the solutions of the plots are revealed." As a matter of fact, pretty-much ALL the solutions are revealed in one way or another. Someone using this book while they are reading one of Christie's novels in order to look up a character may inadvertantly have the ending revealed to them. The book's only usefulness is after you've read the works of Christie. That severely diminishes its value as a reference work.
