But Agatha is different. She created a detective image completely different from Sherlock Holmes-short and fat, with a moustache and a certain age-which is hercule poirot. There is no handsome face, no talent and grace, and even no good friends and sworn enemies, but Poirot's carefully trimmed moustache tilted to both sides is as deeply rooted in people's hearts as that little gray brain cell.
Agatha, yes, she is the undisputed queen of detective stories. From her first detective novel "The Mystery of stiles" to her last novel "The Lights Are Dim", more than 80 detective novels have filled her brilliant creative career. Her works sell well in more than 0/00 countries and regions around the world, and the cumulative sales volume has exceeded 2 billion copies. Among them, Murder on the Orient Express, ABC Murder, Nile Massacre, no one lives, Evil Under the Sun, Mousetrap and other well-known works have been put on the stage and the big screen for many times, and they still shine after years of baptism and become classics in the hearts of generations.
For me, reading mystery novels is a chasing process-chasing clues and chasing the truth. As the story unfolds, I can't wait to calm down and solve the mystery step by step. The more fascinating, the more people struggle in longing and meditation.
Yes, the saddest thing about reading mystery novels is guessing the ending at the beginning, which makes people less surprised by "unexpected and reasonable". But reading Agatha's novels never worries me about this problem. Because her novels are classics in themselves.
If the whole case is compared to a puzzle made up of many pieces, then everyone's testimony, each item is a fragment waiting for you to piece together. Fragments may be similar in color and seem to be placed in one place, but they are actually the opposite. There may also be a few that look awkward and don't fit anywhere. They may be ignored facts or disguised testimony. Only by spelling out the most confusing fragments can the truth be revealed to people.
There is always a core case in mystery novels, which is nothing more than the motive and process of committing crimes. Compared with the cold criminal process, motivation is obviously a more humane part. Agatha's mystery novels emphasize motivation-driven cases. We focus more on finding out who has the possibility of committing crimes than on investigating who has the chance to commit crimes. The various discourses on human nature in the book, although not occupying too much space, are equally thought-provoking. It is all kinds of talents that make up our world. There are also evil shadows on the seemingly sunny beach. There are also sad stories behind the seemingly cruel means of killing. In a series of seemingly coincidental and random cases, the inducement may only come from a long-planned selfishness.
Agatha's book has few violent and bloody scenes, and the evidence clues are very complete, which can make people fully enjoy the pure reasoning process. If I am recommended, I will choose Murder on the Orient Express, The Nile Massacre, The Mystery of Roger, and No one lives without hesitation. Although, I haven't finished reading these four books ... although the library has books, it has been in the state of lending, and popular books are always so hard to find (smile).
Finally, I hope you can all follow detective Poirot's footsteps and enjoy an afternoon to dispel the fog. I hope you can also like Agatha's books and immerse yourself in her reasoning world.
