Book Reviews of Crooked House (Agatha Christie Audio Mysteries)
Book Review: WILL SOMEONE LET THE WOMAN SPEAK?
Summary: 5 Stars
What "improvements" have been made for the St. Martin's Minotaur edition? There are already major differences in punctuation, word choices, and scene breaks between the original Collins and Dodd Mead editions of this novel. There are further differences between the Dodd Mead editions republished by Random House/Avenel and the Dodd Mead editions republished by Simon & Shuster/Pocket. There are further additions still in the Signet, Bantam, Berkley, and Black Dog & Leventhal editions. For every publishing house putting out her works, there seem to be a new batch of editors altering Agatha Christie's words and the sound of her voice. What's the matter with these publishers? Whose voice do they think we want to hear when we sit down to a novel by Agatha Christie? And what will she sound like twenty years from now? It's frightening that her estate has failed to see the importance of guarding her words as she wrote them. Please tell me I'm not the only one here who senses that a crime has been committed.
Summary of Crooked House (Agatha Christie Audio Mysteries)
Three generations of the Leonides family live together in a large, if somewhat crooked-looking house. Then the wealthy patriarch of the household, Aristide, is murdered-injected not with insulin for his diabetes but with a killer substance.
Suspicion falls on the whole houselhold, including Aristede's two sons, his widow - fifty years his junior - and even his three grandchildren. Could any member of this seemingly devoted famly have had a hand in his death? Can Charles Hayward, fiance of the late millionare's granddaughter, help the police find the killer?
