[quote=Anonymous]I've been rereading them too, though I also prefer Hercule Poirot. I think they are classics and I love them even when they are not great. Sometimes the mysteries are SO convoluted and rely on so much happening. Look at Death on the Nile - the killers plotted this extremely complicated murder, and everything had to go exactly. But they were seen by the maid, so killer #2 had to kill the maid in close range with a knife and get away with hiding the body and not being discovered. Then, for body #3, the first killer had to speak loudly enough for killer 2 to hear, run and get a gun, stick it into the room and kind of blindly shoot the woman who was about to reveal what she saw. THEN, once caught, killer 2 kills killer 1 and then kills herself. The whole thing is bizarre when you look at it objectively. [/quote]
