Like Spider's Web, The Unexpected Guest is yet another play of Dame Agatha Christies that was turned into a novel by Charles Osborne. Both of the plays-turned-novels were originally published in 2000 and recently turned into audiobooks; while neither feature Christies usual characters of Miss Jane Marple, Hercule Poirot, or Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, both are equally fabulous.Due to a pea fog, Michael Starkwedder runs his car off the road and arrives at a house, only to find theSo this was originally a play and adapted to a novel format. I did notice that the writing was a bit "off" and didn't feel quite right for an Agatha Christie book. The plot and characters were pretty interesting, as usual, starting off with pretty-clear case of wife being caught red-handed and holding the smoking gun. And in typical Christie style all is not what it appears to be. Not sure if it is because I've read so many of her books, but it didn't take me too long to figure out what the
A really amazing read!!! I love Agatha Christie's works. Her way of storytelling is quite unique and the way she wrote each character with an amazing character build is something everyone will appreciate. Coming to the story it's the usual crime thriller but you will have to stick till the end for this to discover who the culprit actually is.
A fair tale, but although well constructed, is remarkably predictable.
This is the second play after ''Mousetrap'' from the queen of crime Agatha Christie. The unexpected guest was so perfect and haunted and it gave me ''Mousetrap'' feels. The fact that you literally find the killer in the last page made it for me a page-turner.
wow wow wow this book is good at giving me blow job mouth because in the last 15 pages my mouth dropped so much so hard i literally thought the book was starting to end when another bomb dropped and it ALL came together and WOW okay very good easy read enjoyed the connection between the characters enjoyed the simplicity and the complexity All in all a goodread
