I'm not much of a mystery reader, but I've never read Agatha Christie and I wanted to, so thus, this book. I read the first fifty pages in a flash. This is not what I'd expected from Agatha, I thought. This is light reading. Lots of dialogue, minimal action.
As I looked more carefully at the book, I found out why. Despite the enormous AGATHA CHRISTIE written on the front cover, Black Coffee, the book, was not actually written by Christie. It is derived from a play Christie wrote, but it was actually written as a book by someone else.
So, have I read Christie or haven't I? I think not. I must still seek out a Christie for the whole experience. Black Coffee was watered down Christie.
