Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Why Didn't They Ask Evans?
Agatha Christie · 2012
79/100
👍 Worth It
A lighter, breezier Christie than her Poirot puzzles — a golf ball, a dying man's cryptic last words, and two spirited amateur sleuths who are clearly having fun solving it together. It leans more on charm and adventure than airtight clueing, but it's a great entry point if you're new to her work.
