Commentary In Favor Of Books Murder Is Easy (Superintendent Battle #4)
An elderly lady is on her way to Scotland Yard to report several murders in her village. "It is very easy to kill, so long as no one suspects you," she tells the man she meets on the London train, retired policeman Luke Fitzwilliam. He ascribes it all to a vivid imagination and hopes they'll let the old dear down lightly. That is, until he learns about two more suspicious deaths - one of which is the old lady's.Rating Out Of Books Murder Is Easy (Superintendent Battle #4)

One of Christie's creepiest and most horrifying mysteries, about a crime spree in a tiny, adorable English town. (12+)*Please note: this review is meant as a recommendation only. If you use it in any marketing material, online or anywhere on a published book without asking permission from me first, I will ask you to remove that use immediately. Thank you!*This is designated as a Superintendent Battle book, although he doesn't appear until 85%, and he doesn't solve the case at all. It's better to think of it as a stand along, with Luke Fitzwilliam as the main investigator.This is not the top of the Agatha Christie heap, but it is a solid mystery. I enjoyed the way that Luke kept referring to his dear old Aunt Mildred, who is clearly in the vein of Jane Marple. This one also provides an easy comparison to Towards Zero, another Battle book with some
Here we are: I have finally read a book written by Agatha Christie. And I loved it. Now I understand why she is the Queen of Murder. Something to know before jumping straight into Christie's works: She's written like a million different books so don't expect great characterisation or an emotional read - just follow the story for the murder mystery. That's what she does best. At first I wasn't too impressed. Our main character seemed a little too proud of himself and there wasn't anything I could
I love me some Christie. She is getting me through some bad times right now. I plan on reading the rest of her backlist and didn't realize until after the fact I grabbed up the Superintendent Battle series (this is number 4) and am reading out of order now. I will correct that later."Murder is Easy" confused me a bit since I recall this being a Miss Marple television episode. So when I started reading about Luke Fitzwilliam and there was no sign of Miss Marple anywhere I was not pleased. But the
2.5 starsThis is the first book I have read in the Superintendent Battle series and it does not have 'Smart Poirot' or 'An Intuitive Miss.Marple' but instead has 'The Blubbering Novice Mr. Luke Fitzwilliam'.The start of this book is really promising, an old lady traveling on a train meets a gentleman (Mr. Fitzwilliam) and tells a tall tale about a series of murder that takes place in her cozy little village. The gentleman not believing a word goes on his own merry way and later comes to know
A good little mystery, I picked up one red herring (view spoiler)[ that Ms Pinkerton had told Luke that it was a man who was the murderer when I didn't remember her saying so (hide spoiler)] but I thought it was so obvious a clue that I didn't know if it was deliberately put there to be discovered. Ms Christie can often double bluff her readers. The gradual reveal of the murderer was pretty chilling - murder in her books is often practical and prosaic, it's usually done for money or for intense
