Newly-orphaned Anne Beddingfeld is a nice English girl looking for a bit of adventure in London. But she stumbles upon more than she bargained for! Anne is on the platform at Hyde Park Corner tube station when a man falls onto the live track, dying instantly. A doctor examines the man, pronounces him dead, and leaves, dropping a note on his way. Anne picks up the note, which reads "17.1 22 Kilmorden Castle". The next day the newspapers report that a beautiful ballet dancer has been found dead there-- brutally strangled. A fabulous fortune in diamonds has vanished. And now, aboard the luxury liner Kilmorden Castle, mysterious strangers pillage her cabin and try to strangle her. What are they looking for? Why should they want her dead? Lovely Anne is the last person on earth suited to solve this mystery... and the only one who can! Anne's journey to unravel the mystery takes her as far afield as Africa and the tension mounts with every step... and Anne finds herself struggling to unmask a faceless killer known only as 'The Colonel'....Present Based On Books The Man in the Brown Suit (Colonel Race #1)

I savour Agatha Christie in order of her releases. I dont identify ahead what pertains to which series, nor watch any films lest I be wholly surprised by my journey; 90 years after The Man In The Brown Suit, came out. The gift this gives me is that each time I open the front page, it is a treat to discover which heroes shall escort me. Agatha experimented with these first four; three are unrelated. This one has nothing to do with her two famous sleuths. I was blissfully unprepared for thatRating: 05 STARS!!!Shelved as: Favorites x)!Status: in love haha x)!Now that's what im talking about.. I really loved & enjoyed every bit of this book.. also i think i've fallen for Colonel Race <3that was different *.*'a beautiful kind of different.#07thbook #6thonmareadingchallenge #AgathaChristie #crimefiction
It is really a hard life. Men will not be nice to you if you are not good-looking, and women will not be nice to you if you are.My first encounter with Agathie Christie's work was not a disappointment - although, perhaps, it is not one of her most popular books, it was certainly an enjoyable entry into this genre. Think Africa and diamonds and adventure and mystery - welcome to 'The Man in The Brown Suit'. What I liked: ✔-The fact that it was set in South Africa. Everybody's heard the famous
4.5*I had the firm conviction that, if I went about looking for adventure, adventure would meet me halfway. It is a theory of mine that one always gets what one wants.The Man in the Brown Suit, or Anna the Adventurous, was published as a serial in 1923, and is completely over the top! Instead of our usual detective story, we have a thriller, involving an international crime organisation with a secret arch-villain at its head, although there is of course murder and mystery. All starts with our
My library's copy of this is "adapted by Hughot"?!---Currently DNF at page 81.This was the most boring Christie I have encountered to date. I've already forgotten the name of the MC, a young woman who is both irritatingly girlish and almost sociopathically cold (which sounds interesting and could be, written differently, but I think we are supposed to find her sympathetic). Her father has just died, she doesn't care -- fine, he didn't care for her, either -- she's staying with some near
What a hoot this is! Its so melodramatic and the storyline is quite absurd but it was just what I needed to lighten my mood. Anne Beddingfeld is a pompous, self righteous, impressionable and bored young woman. Having lost her father recently, she spends her entire inheritance of £87 to sail to South Africa to solve a murder - as you would! After several scrapes on board, she arrives in South Africa, has several more scrapes before travelling to the Victoria Falls where she has several more
I really enjoyed this mystery about an orphan who takes it upon herself to solve a murder. On the way she meets the man of her dreams and has many adventures. Very well-written.
