A cosy-type mystery that blends real events regarding the Queen of Crime with those of an imaginative modern pen. In A Different Kind of Evil (Agatha Christie, #2) Mr Wilson once again channels the essence of vintage detective fiction to create a sequel filled with suspense and bizarrely creative details that you can't help but think about the next day or recall the different types of red drops of clues that then leads to the final page. Beginning exactly where we left off in A Talent for Murder (Agatha Christie, #1), we follow the voice of the Queen of Crime as we are taken to exotic locales and presented with a room and island filled with suspects that may or may not have something to hide. Although not a stand-alone novel by any means (as many references are made to A Talent to Murder and the timeline of unfortunate tragic events are repeated quite a few times), the lack of 1920's slang (or noticeable Americanisms throughout this British murder mystery) could easily confuse the reader or have them think this novel is set in modern times and the ending is a tad over the top, still A Different Kind of Evil (Agatha Christie, #2) may hold a twist or three even for the most seasoned armchair sleuth and is one channeling story to reach for if you wish to give your little grey cells a decent workout. *With thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books who kindly sent me an advanced reader copy Also in this series: A Talent for Murder (Agatha Christie, #1) by Andrew Wilson -EGP/March 2018 Comments are closed.
