Read This If You Love: A Caribbean Mystery

“Yes, you are right, Madame. The sky is blue, the sun is shining, and yet you forget that everywhere there is evil under the sun.”

Arlene Stuart is beautiful and catches all the eyes of the sun seekers at Leathercombe. Men are drawn to her beauty and women are drawn to her ease of capturing men’s attention. Now, Arlene is laying on the sand and she will never get up again. Who killed her? Poirot is on the case, and it is all the best that Christie has to offer.  

Classic Christie is delivered via this 24th novel featuring Hercule Poirot. Pause to acknowledge how amazing it is that Christie was so prolific! Poirot is still as interesting of a detective even 24 books in and was still hitting all the right notes. Evil Under the Sun is one of my favorite featuring the mustached character. Right before I re-read this book, I had read A Caribbean Mystery in which Marple is on a beach vacation when murder occurs. So interesting to compare the two novels and her two most iconic characters.
