Loading... Third Girl (1966)by Agatha Christie
   No current Talk conversations about this book. Having read several 'Poirot' books now, I find it curious that Poirot stories continues to exist a lot later than the TV programmes make you think. [return][return]This story is set in the 1960s (also written around the same time), and involves: money, drugs, drugging others, killings, artists (did I mention drugs?), etc etc. (  ) nordie | Oct 14, 2023 |  Feb. 2021 reread: While the basis of the plot was ingenious, Christie's comments about life in the mid-1960s England felt dated and, to be frank, somewhat of the disgruntled elder who disliked the culture & attitudes of the youth of the time. But on the plus side, I always enjoy when Ariadne Oliver is a major character. ( ) leslie.98 | Jun 27, 2023 | Third Girl by Agatha Christie comes late in the Hercule Poirot mysteries, published in 1966. I borrowed it from the library to meet the Bingo card entry for switched/stolen identities. Despite knowing the mystery hinged on that feature, I didn't figure it out. It was an interesting mystery as the actual murder isn't revealed until very late in the book and, even then, seems like hearsay. I think the most interesting part is that Christie features the clash between generations that was so important in the 1960s as part of the mystery itself. Poirot is his typical self and the mystery includes his sometimes-sidekick Ariadne Oliver. A good read that surprised me in the end. witchyrichy | Jan 14, 2023 | 4/8/22  laplantelibrary | Apr 8, 2022 | Not nearly as good as her earlier work, contrived and hard to follow with an ending that just came out of nowhere.
