The note contains numbers and mentions Kilmorden Castle. But when she witnesses a man fall to his death on the tracks of the Hyde Park Tube Station and another man in a brown suit ransack his pockets, dropping a note in his flight, she is certain there is something nefarious afoot. With the death of her father, Anne Beddingfeld is determined to escape the boredom of being deposited with relatives and to seek adventure. Personally, I thought the story was delightful, a page turner from beginning to end. Some bawled for the return of Hercule Poirot while others admired her entertaining execution. With it, she deviated from a pure detective novel, bleeding into the genre of a thriller which pleased some critics and dismayed others. The Man in the Brown Suit was Agatha Christie’s fifth novel published by Bodley Head, her contract of six books almost satisfied. Written at: during a trip to South Africa, etc.
Setting: Marlow, London, Southampton, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Bulawayo, island in the Zambezi
