What shall I say about an institution which is one of England's tourist attractions, along with Nelson's Column, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace?
I read it as a short story and loved it: I read it as a play and loved it, despite knowing the secret: and finally, in 2009.
A dream come true!

4.5*
Being a fan of Christie’s writing, it was high time I finally read her plays, and especially THE longest running West End show. It is impossible not to hear about the Mousetrap and I was very curious to find out about it. Unsurprisingly, it was vintage Christie :O) The only problem is that in order to really experience this play, or indeed any, it should be seen. Note to self - go see play!

The Mousetrap: I was expecting a tougher mystery to figure out, but it wasn't. I knew who the murderer was pretty early on (the skis).

I've only read The Mousetrap, so this is really only a partial review, but it's a great play to read. Christie really was a master at her craft; just about everyone since has been a poor imitation. Easy to read and a great little mystery with a fun twist at the end.

Published on occasion of 60th anniversary of Mousetrap, this collection includes eight of best Christie's plays. It includes Verdict, which was a play Christie wrote original and was not based on any of her previous novels or short stories. The other interesting play is the Witness for prosecution which has a different ending from the short play

My impressions of each play:
Ten Little Indians - its source novel And Then There Were None is a masterpiece, a timeless mystery classic. This play is but a pale reflection. What was originally a dark piece on savage justice worthy of the Erinyes devolves into a milquetoast caricature here.
Appointment With Death - (view spoiler)[I don't like mysteries which are solved by happenstance, but that's rare enough in a Christie, so I'll take this as just one of her more gauche plot variants. (hide spoil.more

Great collection of Agatha Christie's plays. Some were adapted from novels but most were written as plays originally with very detailed stage instructions. This makes these plays very dynamic and easy to read, although I would try to watch some of these as stage productions if the occasion presents itself. I love how music plays a big role in Christie's novels (songs, nursery rhymes.) and this element is also used in some of the plays, which adds to the atmosphere beautifully.

Considering I keep going back to read this book, I obviously love it enough to give it the highest-possible rating on Goodreads.
It's just that good. I don't even want to read the novels of any of these plays because the scripts are just so so good. Did I mention that I love reading the parts out loud in the different voices? (Note: I don't read through ALL the voices like that. I assign myself 2-3 parts in each play and preform accordingly.)

Short but brilliant. This seems so classic.
All the suspicious parties ensconced in an old manor on the countryside during a snow storm.
And a serial killer on the loose.
I was pretty sure about the culprit early on, but nevertheless a very satisfying read.

I read this because I was IN a production ( as Christopher Wren!) in maybe 1982 at Calvin College, summer production with mostly Calvin alumni. Obviously one of the (is it THE longest?!) longest running productions of a play in history, in London. and it is a great play. as so many of hers are.

LOVE. My favorite mystery author in play form. Some of these (like The Mousetrap) are originals, and some are adapted from stories. I've read some books adapted from her plays, so honestly she just works really well in any medium. What a great storyteller!

کتاب با توجه به شهرتی که داشت اصلا جذاب نبود مگر داستان اول که همان تله موش است، فقط در یکی از داستان ها پوآرو حضور داشت. بیشتر آثار کریستی رو خوندم و باید بگم این کتاب غیر از تله موش بقیه داستان هایش ضعیف است و اصلا ارزش خواندن ندارد!!

I read the title play only. I was surprised to find it very funny and sardonic. It's about a married couple who run a small hotel. The husband has a snide outlook and often insults the guests. His wife is constantly getting on him about fixing things. The meals, masquerading as elegant, are dished from a can. There is a doddering old man called The Major, there is a haughty old lady, there is an ever-present fear that one of the guests will flee, leaving the bill unpaid and a suitcase full of br.more
I have very vague recollections of trying to read a Hercule Poirot book from almost a decade ago and hardly remember a thing from it. This was all the acquaintance I had with Agatha Christie. A colleague once when she received a pay raise went ahead and brought the entire collection of Miss Marple and I remember staring incredulously at her as she explained the different titles in the collection. After a while I come to know of the longest running play in Broadway and also of the 2003 film Ident.more

In general I think that these plays are very good as plays, but as text I like Agatha Christie's novels better. I think the novels are usually better-paced than about half of the plays in this collection, at least for reading.
My favourites were probably Towards Zero, Go Back for Murder, Appointment with Death, and The Hollow, approximately in that order.

I only read the three original plays in this book. The others were adaptations of her books that I have already read elsewhere. I liked The Mousetrap the best though it was relatively easy to guess the murderer's identity. However, I did have fun picturing how similar the plot was to both Sleuth and Noises Off and I wondered if those plays later made into movies were somewhat based on this play. I'm sure if I hadn't seen the marvelous Marlene Dietrich movie version of Witness for the Prosecution.more

Agatha Christie usually gets 5 stars from me because she is brilliant! I loved her plays. Two of them I’ve read in novel form, and I can’t wait to read the novels of the others. I’m not lying when I say that I loved all the plays in this anthology - each one had a perfectly crafted murder mystery. It takes a second to get used to reading a script, but this is totally worth the read!

I had only read one of the Agatha Christie plays that she had adapted for the stage and that was because I was in it; Murder on the Nile. I was so excited to be in the play and I had the script of just that play, so I had no idea how many of her plays she herself had adapted. The first thing I noticed when I read it, and I was stunned by it, is that she took out Hercule Poirot. She replaced him with Canon Pennyfather from the novel; At Bertram's Hotel. Because the Cannon was a rather dithering o.more

House of wolves download torrent. Agatha Christie created magnificent works of suspense for the theater, and eight of her riveting stage dramas are collected in The Mousetrap and Other Plays—including the title piece, the longest running play in history, still a smash hit in London's West End after 60 years!
On an isolated island, ten people have been brought together to be killed off. An evil old woman has a rendezvous with death in the desert heat of Jerusalem. A scheming wife testifies against her husband in a shocking murder trial. And a homicidal maniac terrorizes a group of snowbound guests to the refrain of 'Three Blind Mice.'
This collection of eight works proves that Agatha Christie's plays are as compulsive as her novels, with their colorful characters and ingenious plots providing yet more evidence of her mastery of the detective thriller.
