Familia Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Looking for Agatha Christie novels that take place within a family setting. Dd and I enjoyed Death Comes As the End. We liked the domestic environment in Egypt that provided the setting of the novel. Any other recommendations? Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I'm bumping this for you. I don't know AC's works well enough to answer. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnE-girl Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I don't have an answer to your question, but your post inspired me to put a few Poirot books on hold at the library. I haven't read nearly enough Agatha Christie, but I love the David Suchet Masterpiece Mystery shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 All of them, LOL. Most of her mysteries are set in the contexts of families, with one family member being the victim, multiple family members as suspects. My favorites are: The Body in the Library 4:50 from Paddington A Murder is announced Taken at the Flood Evil under the Sun Let sleeping murder lie 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny bc the first three I thought of didn't fit the category. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Crooked House! 4:50 from Paddington might fit the description. Third Girl (Poirot) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Crooked House! Oh yes, definitely crooked house is deeply within a family setting. It might, however be disturbing (spoiler in white: because the murder is a child))) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ummto4 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Oh yes, definitely crooked house is deeply within a family setting.

Familia Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Oh yes, definitely crooked house is deeply within a family setting. It might, however be disturbing (spoiler in white: because the murder is a child))) I really appreciate that information, and neat way to share it, thanks=) Thank you to everyone...I am off to my kindle to start downloads. P.S. To satisfy our lull until the next novel, we read half of Poe's Murder in the Rue Morgue last night. DS, who is home on break, requested it, and I cannot put into words the satisfaction I had reading aloud to my newly-off-to-college son! Unfortunately, I saw a picture at the end of the Poe story which I think tells me 'who dunit', but at least not how! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSNative Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Dead Mans Folly The Man in the Brown Suit - not necesarily family setting but one of my favorites so I threw it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
