Smitha: (view spoiler)[Yeah, I so want to! Grrrrrrrrr..
She was the one who planted that idea into my head yesterday or else the blow would've had more effect. I never had suspected him until yday. :-/ (hide spoiler)]

[Ahtims]

(view spoiler)[
That's why I didnot even reprimand her., as my saying anything would have consolidated your suspicion
(hide spoiler)]

Jaya, Smitha: (view spoiler)[ Yeah I know. But somehow the silence also supported the spoiler. :-/

It was a really good one. I missed Hastings though, from page 1. :-/
(view spoiler)[I find doctors very dangerous when it comes to murders. Everything now fits so well in the entire scheme.

Though I think the motive behind the murder wasn't too strong for effect, if its just to achieve safety. If he were a psychopath, I would've loved it more maybe. :P

What could we have done...
silence as well as noise would have been construed as a spoiler.

(view spoiler)[ gaah all the good intentions went down the drain :(.
I found the motive a bit flimsy too but the entire plot and the way it was presented literally had pulled the rug from under my feet. I was soooo mad and outraged for days together. Because cant help but like the good doctor >_< (hide spoiler)]

[Ahtims]

I too liked that person.

[~~Poulomi Sylphrena Tonk$~~]

Smitha, Jaya: (view spoiler)[The damage was already done by my GREAT BUDDY!!! Guess my mind was also hypersensitive at that point. :-/ (hide spoiler)]

Jaya: (view spoiler)[ Hahahaha! Mad for making the good doctor look bad.. Lol! :P
In a way, I'm happy he was guilty because that means Hastings would be back! ^_^ (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[And anyone would have taken the companion of Hercule Poirot for granted. Or else why would he let him in on everything? -_-
Clever, very clever. (hide spoiler)]

Good thinking Abhay you might be somewhat on the right track...how far have you reached?


And its not really esoteric more like a cognizance game

No, about his equally sexy brother (^__^)

Emma has a brother? Really?"

I was wondering where did u find clark kent here and then parker i thought...peter parker ;D

Keep going!

Nice racing, Abbyy! :D
And use spoiler tags. -_- Harry hasn't reached this much as yet.
(view spoiler)[
Yeah Kent. He was the mysterious man with the American Accent. (hide spoiler)]

What do you think about the shoeprints on Ackroyd's window? Same suspect or someone else? :P

[~~Poulomi Sylphrena Tonk$~~]

Abhay wrote: "Oops Charles Kent. Clark kent is superman lol :D

Yesssss.. And they look so alike. He's 16. Forgot the name though. :-/

[Jarvis]

@Polo, I shall hide.

[~~Poulomi Sylphrena Tonk$~~]

Abby- (view spoiler)[Maybe they were unique at that time. Even I wondered the same, but chances were less that someone within the same household used the same kind of shoes as Paton at the same time when he happened to (probably) come to the house and that too leave footprints in a room where a murder was committed.

But I might be saying it wrong. Read ahead. :P

What doubts on those two? Of having committed the crime? (hide spoiler)]

[~~Poulomi Sylphrena Tonk$~~]

Abby: (view spoiler)[Yes, yes.. she looked suspicious since that day itself, when she visited the doctor.
(hide spoiler)]

One of the most interesting parts about the story is how everyone in the family had something to hide. And since those things somehow related to the day of the crime, no one stood up to the truth, unless Poirot urged them to.

Also how some revelations changed the entire track of investigation.

Nobody would guess that, actually. Agatha has planted the plot in a very cunning way. :)

Good thing you overlooked. Bad thing I couldn't.
Ginny gave me the 2nd biggest spoiler of my life. :-/ (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I'm never telling you what I'm reading anymore.. :( (hide spoiler)]

[~~Poulomi Sylphrena Tonk$~~]

I agree to what Abby said. In another book, such a small thing might not have been significant. But when its a murder mystery and one such as this where the murderer is very improbable, that kind of thing is the worst spoiler possible.

Bet you'd have felt the same if you were in our place, Ginny.

Abhay wrote: "@Polo : Will post my detailed thoughts about that ending after work today."

Okay, will await, Monsieur! :)

[Ahtims]

(view spoiler)[
You all better remove the references to Gehna and not spoil it for HP...
Dont be harsh on poor Ginny. Perhaps she was in a very impish mood and didnt think much . I had to liywrally clench my fist not to typw out some veiled clue

(hide spoiler)]

[Jaya]

(view spoiler)[ i was trying to misdirect abhay when he said he suspects the ladies. I was hoping tht you guys would ignore the hint :D but yeah the temptation to give away the murderer, was too hard
At least our silence helped one person of three ;) (hide spoiler)]

[~~Poulomi Sylphrena Tonk$~~]

(view spoiler)[I asked Harry to not come here till he finishes the book, Smitha.. Don't worry. :)

It's not about being impish.. I've been with her for long and we both know how we hate spoiling and things getting spoilt. I never thought this would happen. Never felt the shock of the book like everyone else felt, because of this. And it feels like being cheated. :(

Let's not stretch this. Just hoping this won't happen again, that's all.

(hide spoiler)]

[Ahtims]

:)

[Jaya]

Syl. Think of some other Christie, that'l shock Polo (am also trying to think of one)
I loved Murder in Mesopotamia, Three Act Tragedy and Appointment with Death. Try these as well, Polo

[Ahtims]

Okay. Am not the correct person to ask as I forget the murderers within a few months of being done with them. Remembered Roger Ackroyd as that was a group read last year or so. :P

I loved Murder on the orient express too.

[~~Poulomi Sylphrena Tonk$~~]

Duly noted, Jaya and Smitha. :)

I'll go chronologically.. Will skip Big 4 probably, as that didn't go too well for many and jump on to Blue Train.

Orient Express is on my radar too. :D

[Jaya]

Abhay wrote: "I've heard that And Then There Were None, Roger Ackroyd, Orient Express are the best works of Agatha Christie. Is that right? I think i'll be picking Orient Express next from Christie's. Maybe next..."

How soon or late are you reading it? I want to tag along. Its been pending for a while now...

Wait is that the first one you're taking abt or skin deep?

[Ahtims]

I wanted to read Legion too.

[Jaya]

Achha no, i mistook it for the second one. Iv read Legion...
You guys carry on...

[~~Poulomi Sylphrena Tonk$~~]

Abby: You sure have a thing for Caroline, dragging her everywhere. :P

(view spoiler)[ Yes, this one is a new thing. Murdering narrator PoV are the hardest to follow. :P

But I wonder, why did the doctor blackmail Mrs. Ferrars for money? I mean, he's a well known surgeon in those parts and that must pay him well. Greed might be a possible reason, though, but doesn't suit him much. That blackmail caused this entire commotion. I'd have preferred a stronger cause, given the gravity of the situation.
