Black Coffee Audiobook Summary

Sir Claud Amory’s formula for a powerful new explosive has been stolen, presumably by a member of his large household. Sir Claud assembles his suspects in the library and locks the door, instructing them that the when the lights go out, the formula must be replaced on the table — and no questions will be asked. But when the lights come on, Sir Claud is dead. Now Hercule Poirot, assisted by Captain Hastings and Inspector Japp, must unravel a tangle of family feuds, old flames, and suspicious foreigners to find the killer and prevent a global catastrophe.

4 Stars for Black Coffee: Hercule Poirot 7.5 (audiobook) by Agatha Christie adapted into novel by Charles Osbourne read by John Moffatt. Agatha Christie originally wrote this story to be performed on stage. I tried to keep that in mind while I was listening. I tried to picture the actors on stage. That was a fun perspective to imagine. Since this story revolves around one room it would be easy for a theater company to put on. I hope to get to see it performed someday.

Pozorisna predtava Agate Kristi pretocena u roman od strane Carlsa Ozborna.Vidim da ima puno zalbi da se knige na cita kao da je pislala Agata, da nije dovoljno dobra itd. E sada moguce da je do prevoda ali meni licno nista nije bolo oci i da mi je neo rekao da je to sama spisateljica napisalapoverovao bi mu.Sem toga ovo je manje vise klasicna Agata prica i meni je bila zabavna za citanje i prepoucio bi dalje. U detalje necu ulaziti da ne kvarimo misteriju.Cheers

3.5 stars The truth is never horrible, only interesting. Locked room murder mystery where the murderer is very apparent. I loved that Hasting's was in here with Poirot. I enjoy their little moments. Again we are faced with the issue of xenophobia throughout the book but Poirot's retort made me chuckle: "Me, I am a detective--but only a Belgian one. Nevertheless, mademoiselle, we foreigners do arrive at the correct answer occasionally" . I understand that this was an adaptation of a play written by Christie and I was thoroughly pleased by it.

Quite predictable... more predictable than Agatha Christie's other books I've read... but was a quick enjoyable read.

My rating: 3.5/5 You can very much tell that this was originally written to be a play, but that honestly didn’t bother me and overall it was an enjoyable story though not one of ‘her’ best, probably because it wasn’t actually written by her 😅 The premise was interesting though and kept me guessing!
