"The man in the brown suit", by Agatha Christie.
Anne Beddingfeld, a beautiful young lady, is orphaned and comes to London to look for a job. She sees a frightened man die accidentally by stepping on railway track. A man in brown suit approaches him, posing as doctor, and declares him dead. He also removes an important document from his pocket.
Anne decides to find out the truth. She also finds that a women is murdered. To solve the mystery she decides to take a voyage on a ship to South Africa, spending all her savings. There she meets a number of people but does not know their intentions.
Can she find the murderer? Can she find the man in the brown suit? Are they one and the same? What is the mystery?
The story is slow. Characters appear to be shallow. The novel does not end, for a long time, even after mystery is revealed.
Unlike other Agatha novels, this novel is drab. Agatha Christie hallmarks are missing and suspense is not enticing.
Give a miss to this one.
