Una ragazza perplessa pensa di aver ucciso qualcuno. Tre ragazze single condividevano lo stesso appartamento di Londra. La prima lavorava come segretaria; la seconda era un’artista; la terza, che si era rivolta a Poirot per chiedere aiuto, era scomparsa convinta di essere un’assassina. Ora si vociferava di revolver, coltelli a scatto e macchie di sangue. Ma, senza prove concrete, ci sarebbe voluta tutta la tenacia di Poirot per stabilire se la terza ragazza fosse colpevole, innocente o pazza. Il libro di Agatha Christie “Marple” è stato un bestseller del Sunday Times nella settimana del 12-09-2022.

Affascinante
Una storia sorprendente, Agatha Christie ci porta nella swinging London dei mitici anni Sessanta, che appare in una luce un po’ sinistra e ben poco glamorous. Il colpo di scena finale è veramente inaspettato.

Mah
La trama mi è sembrata un po’ sconclusionata, come se Christie l’avesse dipanata momento per momento, sempre fantastica la sensibilità dell’autrice per ciò che si potrebbe chiamare lo spirito del tempo, gli anni sessanta in questo caso.

Noiosetto
Il libro, rispetto ad altri scritti dalla Christie, mi è sembrato lungo e noioso. Piuttosto inverosimile anche la trama. Certamente il peggiore fino ad ora.

I was never on the same track. Ending was a complete surprise. Thoroughly enjoyed the variety of twists and surprises.

Always a great read, Agatha Christie at her best.

M Hercule Poirot is just finishing his breakfast when an unexpected visitor sends word that she wanted to consult him about “a murder she might have committed.” A girl with “straggly hair of indeterminate colour” dressed in “a long and sloppy pullover of heavy wool” enters the room, but quickly leaves after informing Poirot – much to his chagrin – that he is “too old.”Poirot later identifies the mysterious girl as Miss Norma Restarick, thanks to some information he gets from Mrs Ariadne Oliver, his resourceful old friend. This book also features Poirot’s other associates like Mrs Lemon, the “always efficient” secretary; and Mr Goby who is described “a small shrunken little man, so nondescript as to be practically nonexistent.”As for the plot, Norma is the only daughter of Andrew Restarick, a rich businessman who has recently returned to England from South Africa. Norma shares a flat in London with her friends Claudia and Frances, but she has not returned there after spending the weekend with her father and stepmother. Poirot visits Long Basing village to meet Sir Rodney Horsefield, Andrew’s aged uncle, who is writing his memoirs with the help of his secretary Sonia. Poirot also makes enquiries in London, but it appears that Norma has simply eloped with her boyfriend and no crime has taken place…This book is one of the last novels featuring Hercule Poirot and the author emphasizes this by frequent reference to drugs, modern art galleries and “long haired young fellows.” Considering that Poirot’s first appearance was during the First World War and this book was published in 1966, it is not surprising that Norma considers him to be too old! In fact, this book has several instances of what would now be called ‘ageism’ – for example, Sir Roderick is described as “practically ga-ga.”Agatha Christie had a great fondness for oblique references. One of the characters is named Frances Cary, whose name seems to be inspired by the Sherlock Holmes story ‘The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax.’ Another interesting aspect is a long dialogue delivered by Ariadne Oliver as she chats with Poirot. “I don’t really like drink, and so people have to find a soft drink for me which is rather a bore for them,” says Mrs Oliver “And then people say things to me… and it makes me feel hot and bothered and rather silly. But I manage to cope more or less. And then they say how much they love my awful detective Sven Hjerson. If they knew how I hated him…” This seems to be a thinly veiled reference to Christie’s own experiences and feelings towards her creation Hercule Poirot.This is an unusual detective novel, in which the sole murder takes place in the twenty second chapter. It is significant that the author was 76 years old when this book was published – and she might have been at the receiving end of ageism by then. “Old people,” says Poirot, “they remember, not things that have happened last week or last month or last year but they remember something that happened, say, nearly twenty years ago… And they can tell you certain things about a certain man…” This certainly applies to Agatha Christie herself.

Lo compré para practicar mi Inglés. El libro es interesante. En la línea de otros de A. Christie. Sin embargo, hay errores gramaticales serios y creo que deberían corregirlo ya que no es un libro gratuito.
