If there ever was a book in which I hated one character from the moment he or she entered the stage, it is this adventure of Poirot written by the so talented Agatha Christie. Detectives can be genious, full of mystery, but Agatha is alike her own Miss Marple, knowing people are they are or as they can be. In this case it took a while for me to like the story itself, The first chapter is somewhat irritating but soon enough the players each take their turn and become known to the reader, and lead as ever to the most unlikely climax imaginable. Maybe the thing that bothers me the most is the person "J' in the book. ( ) Synopsis: Poirot and Hastings are on vacation when they meet as young lady named Nick. She has recently had several scraps with death. Poirot and Hastings decide the these scraps are not accidents but attempts on her life and they try to figure out who has it in for her before it is too late. My Rating: 4/5 I really enjoyed this book. It is my second favorite of the Poirot's I have read so far. I do think your mileage on the mystery itself may vary depending on what other books you have read in the past. I read this with a friend and he said he figured out what was happening in the book very early on because a Sherlock Holmes novel which he read had a similar plot. I loved the Hastings and Poirot were together in this book and they had their usual playful banter. Following them together is always such a good time and I wish Hastings was in all the books. I appreciated that this book had a manageable cast of characters. My biggest complaint with Christie books tends to be that sometimes there are just too many characters and I lose track of who was who. I didn't have that issue in this book. I thought it was interesting for Christie to have drug use in her books and her apparent social commentary on the youth at the time's attitudes towards life and substance use. I like that this book gives the reader all the clues that they could solve the mystery. I loved the reveal. It made perfect sense but also I had no idea until Poirot told us what was going on. I have very few complaints about this book. There were a couple weird things that happened at the end but I generally try to be forgiving of Christie when those sorts of things happen because the genre and genre expectations have come so far since she wrote and her books are still amazing despite how long it has been since they were written. This is a great Christie and very worth reading. One of the better Poirots that I've read so far. Everything was explained in the end, and it had been there all along. (Sometimes, there's too much missing information and the reader doesn't stand a chance of solving the crime.) There is a small amount of profanity, including God's name used as an exclamation. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Glittrande hav, strålande sol och ond bråd död Tre nästan dödliga »olyckshändelser« på lika många dagar. För miss Nick Buckley ter sig livet i sommarparadiset St. Loo vid Cornwalls kust allt annat än harmoniskt. När den semestrande detektiven Hercule Poirot och hans vän Arthur Hastings blir vittnen till ett fjärde mordförsök tar de sig an det mystiska fallet. Kort därefter bjuder Nick in till fest och en av gästerna skjuts till döds, iklädd Nicks sjal ... Badortsmysteriet utkom för första gången 1932 och dess välkomponerade intrig har sedan dess fängslat flera generationer. Med den bedrägliga lyxtillvaron som fond blottlägger Agatha Christie ledtråd efter ledtråd, bara för att i slutändan briljera med den oväntade upplösningen.
