This was a fun outlier in Christie’s body of work, though it is actually one of her earliest published books. She doesn’t normally do thrillers or espionage (and when she does it’s often not all that great), or feature one-off main characters, or feature a narrative that has travel and adventure in it, but this book has all of that. It’s also unfortunately one of the more dated of Christie’s works because it takes place outside that domestic sphere her other work is so comfortable […]
“But there are many fools in the world. One praises God for their existence and keeps out of their way.”
The Man in the Brown Suit (Colonel Race, #1) by Agatha Christie
