Agatha Christie "Third Girl" (Ece)

 Agatha Christie “Third Girl” 

Third Girl is a detective fiction novel by Agatha Christie. It was first published in 1966 in the UK and was turned into a movie in 2008. Therein, a young woman, Norma Restarick, asks help from Hercule Poirot because she thinks she might have committed a murder. But then, she tells Poirot that he’s too old to help her. How disrespectful! However, Poirot, feeling curious, pursues the case. He later finds out that one of his friends, Ariadne Oliver, sent this girl to him. Family dramas, drugs and murders… Will Poirot be able to solve this case?

As a person who enjoys detective stories, I am passionate about this book. It has emotional, comedic and psychological aspects due to Norma’s state of mind, which makes the book very gripping. The characters are very original and interesting. There is also a mysterious side to them and thus we never know what they are capable of. They will always make you want to keep reading! Personally, my favorite character is Norma Restarick. She is always unpredictable. When she does things even she does not realize she is doing, she makes me feel jittery. Moreover, I love the way Agatha Christie tells the story. She is a brilliant author. Everything is very clear and understandable.

However, the development of events is told in a very long way. Therefore, if you don’t like detective stories, it might be boring for you. But I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys reading detective stories. Third Girl is just for you!
