Famous crime man Hercule Poirot arrives to find Dr. Christow Permanently ectricated from his affairs by a revolver at close range. Love triangles and strange alliances quadruple the complexity of this classic Christie.
The Hollow is Agatha Christie at her best.
More Reviews and RecommendationsAgatha Christie is nearly synonymous with upper-class British mysteries, for good reason. She set the standard for the genre in over 60 novels and dozens of short stories, also creating two classic detectives: the fastidious Belgian, Hercule Poirot, and English spinster Jane Marple. No one could match Christie's knack for weaving clues into her stories, then turning the whole thing inside out -- shocking her readers every time.
