Agatha Christie also wrote romance novels under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott, and was occasionally published under the name Agatha Christie Mallowan. During the second half of the novel the story starts to introduce diary entries which I found to be slightly jarring and disrupted the flow of the story. The Man in the Brown Suit is a television movie adaptation of an Agatha Christie mystery novel of the same name about an American woman getting involved in a diamond theft in South Africa. [1] [2] Plot [ edit ] The advantage of seeing this film in 2005 is that although it isn't the the 1930s period piece it should be, it's so screamingly outdated 1980s through-and-through that you still enjoy quite a "vintage" feel.

A brief history of this ebook

This early Agatha Christie novel was published in 1924 between the introductions of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. It reads as though Christie had not yet hit her stride as a mature mystery author. In fact THE MAN IN THE BROWN SUIT is not strictly a mystery. Instead, it is a rather tame adventure/thriller/romance novel centered around a mystery. At 1.00am on the morning of the 22nd, a young man staggers into Anne's cabin having been stabbed. Anne is able to dress the man's slight wound but the man is not in the least bit grateful and leaves after an altercation with her. Affably Evil: Sir Eustace is "genial and smiling", a good-natured fellow who is nice to everybody. He's also a murderer and head of an international crime organization. He asks Anne to marry him after she confronts him with his secret identity, and later he waves cheerfully to her as he's taken away.

Following completion in late 1923 The Man in the Brown Suit was first serialised in the London Evening News under the title Anne the Adventurous. It ran in fifty instalments from Thursday, November 29, 1923 to Monday, January 28, 1924. There were slight amendments to the text, either to make sense of the openings of an instalment (e.g. changing "She then..." to "Anne then..."), or omitting small sentences or words. The main change was in the chapter division. The published book has thirty-six chapters whereas the serialisation has only twenty-eight.
