And what a coincidence because I was just thinking about this title...spooky. <br /><br />There's been a lot of debate regarding Christie's formulaic plots and character stereotypes, but as you said, there's something special about her books that keep her readers coming back. I haven't read any Christie for a while and I think it's time I dipped my toe in again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263295136331930331.post-44195944972431324582009-11-02T18:32:57.452+05:302009-11-02T18:32:57.452+05:30I'm kind of embarrassed to say that I've n...I'm kind of embarrassed to say that I've never read any of Agatha Christie's work.

Plot was her forte, and even though this book is not among her best, it is special to me because it was a gift from a very special relative for my birthday when I was young. So I have a sentimental fondness for the "elephants."<br />Spot on review, Gautami!dshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616750784052488695noreply@blogger.com
