Towards Zero- book review

"TOWARDS ZERO"- Agatha Christie's next novel i read.... For several reasons i like her novels rather than Sheldon's.

"I like a good detective story, but they begin in the wrong place! They begin with the murder. But the murder is the end. The story begins long before that." So remarks esteemed criminologist Mr. Treves.

The plot begins with the tennis star Nevile Strange convincing his new wife, Kay to befriend his ex Audrey , under the roof of Lady Tressilian , even though none of them feels it is a good idea to re-unite Audrey and Kay. I felt the novel was a bit less thrilling,
when suddenly the plot took off, when Treves is being killed after he talks about a murder. What was interesting is that the murderer used nothing more than a placard with words "LIFT OUT OF ORDER" , while the inn authorities swear that the lift was in robust-working-condition.

The situation is still worsened when Lady Tressilian is found dead in her bed after a tete-a-tete between her and Nevile. The plot was perfectly thrilling which keeps your mind racing and thus making you thumbing through the pages of the novel.

The murders were so intricately planned that keeps you far from hazarding a guess!!
I have got ma next Agatha Christie's book, N or M.

Will get you the review after i read,with in a coupla days
