The characters are flat, and the simplicity of the clues and the central trick is spoiled by a lot of overcomplicated faff. BUT… it made a great adaptation. The characters are given… not exactly depth but they stand out more.
Even the change of murderer makes sense. The evidence bears her out, but only because Christie says so and she was too blinkered to consider all the possibilities. I bet that came up when they storyboarded the book for the first draft, and they played with it cleverly.
Like Like. I regard this as a good mystery with a clever solution. It definitely becomes unputdownable towards the end. This method of solving crimes is far-fetched and for this reason I prefer Poirot to Marple.
But once you realise the trick, which is too heavily clued, one half of the solution is obvious and the other half is arbitrary. Yes, congratulations Doc! More later. A lot of Christie like Body in the Library is a clever puzzle but not much else.
