Changes

I’m sure that this is not read from the book there’s some changes on some words. Even Harry thanked Ann when she helped which he never did. Then she asked him to thank her?!

Murder on the tube London

Gertrude Colette's Narration is impeccable.
Agatha Christie weaves a tale of a bold amateur sleuth that's entertaining and convincing.

character analysis

did not like the voices. Just too exaggerated in accent and gender. Better to have more narrators. Great story from Christie!!

Someone should have looked up the k-word. yikes.

Great story, but someone dropped the ball on the language. Incredibly jarring to hear the k-word (equivalent to the n-word) used over and over to describe black South Africans. This kind of language is typically edited out of Christie stories. I'm pretty disappointed.
