jdcorley 's review for:

Lord Edgware Dies by Agatha Christie
1.5
mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

It's a real pity that one of Poirot's most memorable crimes and most twisted setups are marred by some of Christie's most casual racism and anti-Semitism. What's worse is she makes it clear that the only bad kind of racism is the gauche kind. It doesn't let up, either. A real pity.
