Description
“Evil Under the Sun” is a detective novel written by Agatha Christie, featuring her famous Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot. The novel was first published in 1941. As with many of Christie’s works, “Evil Under the Sun” is a classic example of a locked-room mystery, set in a closed environment with a limited number of suspects.
The story takes place on the fictional English island of Leathercombe Bay, where the renowned detective Hercule Poirot is vacationing. As the title suggests, the novel involves a murder that occurs under the sunny and seemingly idyllic setting. Famous actress Arlena Stuart is found dead on the beach, and Poirot is called upon to investigate the crime.
As the plot unfolds, Poirot carefully examines the alibis and motivations of the various characters on the island, ultimately unraveling the mystery through his keen powers of deduction. “Evil Under the Sun” is praised for its intricate plotting, clever twists, and the characteristically clever resolution that Agatha Christie is known for.
If you enjoy classic detective fiction with intricate puzzles and a touch of humor, “Evil Under the Sun” is likely to be an enjoyable read.
