An analysis in 1990 was positive about the plot, considered the novel one of the few by Christie that is well-anchored in time and place, a story that knows it describes the end of an era, and mentions that the plot is clever. Christie had not mastered cleverness in her first novel, as "too many clues tend to cancel each other out"; this was judged a difficulty "which Conan Doyle never satisfactorily overcame, but which Christie would."

Download or read book The Mysterious Affair at Styles Annotated Book written by Agatha Christie and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-07-17 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book begins in Styles Court, located in Essex, United Kingdom. The manor has multiple people living on it, including Emily Inglethorp, the elderly owner of the estate. When the rest of the people living there wake up in the morning, they find that Emily has died, and it appears that she was poisoned.In one of Christie's Hercule Poirot novels, the famous detective finds out that Emily was of great wealth, providing a very likely motive for murder. Suspects included Alfred Inglethorp, a younger man who Emily just married, the Cavendish family, who include Emily's stepchildren, and Cynthia and Evelyn, both of whom were friends of Emily.John Cavendish, according to Emily's will, is the one who will receive the majority stake in the manor, so, at first, this points the suspecting finger at him. However, it is said that, on the day of the murder, Emily had argued with John and Alfred, and changed her will. No one can find any evidence that such a newly created will even exists.The investigator of the crime is Inspector Japp, who thinks that Alfred is the one who committed the murder. He refuses to provide an alibi, and he has the most to gain (They found an updated version of Emily's will, in which Alfred inherits the manor). Because he is so young, it seems like he is simply a man looking for easy money.Alfred is found guilty of the murder, and he did it in coordination with Evelyn. Apparently, he had written a letter about killing Emily, and this is what made Emily so upset the day of the murder. Not being able to go another day without her telling someone, he decided to kill her that night.

Book Synopsis The Cases of Blue Ploermell by : James Thurber
Download or read book The Cases of Blue Ploermell written by James Thurber and published by . This book was released on 2021-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1923, the young reporter James Thurber was given a half a page in the Sunday Evening Dispatch of Columbus, Ohio, every week to fill with anything he wanted. For most of that year, he turned out book reviews, humorous commentary, jokes, stories, and even literary criticism.He also wrote a series of 13 short Sherlockian parodies - 10,000 words in all - starring Blue Ploermell, a "psychosocial" detective with a fondness for animal crackers. Aided (and occasionally impeded) by his Chinese manservant, Gong Low, Ploermell investigates cases marked by his cock-eyed deductions, loopy logic, and knack for leaping to the wrong conclusion.These juvenilia represents Thurber's first attempts at learning the craft of humor writing. Looking back at this work years later, he even considered publishing the Ploermell stores. The Cases of Blue Ploermell, for the first time in a century, collects the 13 stories. Edited and annotated by Bill Peschel, they show Thurber trying his hand at characterization, story structure, ethnic humor, and serial writing in a style rarely seen at any newspaper. In addition to the annotations, Peschel wrote essays on Thurber's years in Columbus, Ohio; journalism in the 1920s; the state of Sherlockian parodies; and depictions of Chinese men and women in American popular culture. Note: The 13 stories are very short, and take up 40 pages of this 200-page book. The rest of the book consists of these essays: "Becoming James Thurber" (39 pages); "Journalism in Thurber's Time" (4 pages); "Sherlockian Parodies in the 1920s" (8 pages); "The Ancestors of Gong Low" (13 pages); "The Chinese in Popular Culture" (35 pages); movie reviews (19 pages); chronology (9 pages); lists (7 pages).
