Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A favorite Christie novel
Review: This Hercule Poirot mystery is set on an island resort. In this exotic setting, the vacationers watch each other, and learn a bit about each other's history and personalities - and gossip about the flamboyant, and possibly unfaithful wife, of one of the guests. When she's found dead, the investigation shows the guests have many secrets - suspicions of murder, financial difficulties, previous romantic entanglements with other guests.

As is typical of many Christie stories, it's one of those secrets that is key to solving the mystery.

Classic Christie puzzle plot with engaging characters. Well-written and a very enjoyable read. Recommended.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: HARDLY WORTH READING
Review: This is a book that I find is a waste of time and money if you are to buy it. A very simple plot, not very well-thought out, as if our beloved Agatha had a deadline she was pushing for. You should be able to guess the murderer quite easily if you have read anything of Christie's before. So, if you want a good mystery, go for a) ABC Murders b) And Then There Were None c) The Murder of Roger Ackroyd d) The Man in the Brown Suit

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of CHristie's Best!
Review: This is a really good book. I have read many of CHristie's works and I think this is one of her best. I never guessed who the murderer was, and I was very surprised!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GOOD
Review: This is one of my favourite Agatha Christie Books, along with And Then There Were None, and Murder of Roger Ackroyd. The plot is good, and the ending is surprising and twisting as always.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Classic Poirot mystery.
Review: While this book doesn't rank with `Ten Little Indians' or `Roger Ackroyd', it certainly is one of the better Christie mysteries. A classic Poirot story. Typical of Christie's high-calibre ouput of the 30s and 40s.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What an exciting story!
Review: Why is everyone saying that this is such a horrible book? I enjoyed the interesting plot and cleverness of this mystery. The end was quite surprising. Though this is not a classic, it is definitely worth reading.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Sun, Sand and Murder - the perfect combination
Review: Written in 1941 this is not Agatha Christie's best book, but it is right up there at the top. I highly recommend this as a book to take on your next beach vacation! It follows a theme also found in A Caribbean Mystery, that you don't really know the people you meet on holiday. (It really gets you thinking about that couple you had dinner with last night.) Set on the English coast outside Devon, Evil takes place in an island resort and is filled with such typically British characters you'll find yourself reaching for the suntan lotion and craving tea and cakes as you read it. Even if you're not on vacation, Evil Under the Sun is a bright spot for any day.
