Beneath the glittering surface of an idyllic seaside resort, murder is never far from the sun-drenched shore — and when the glamorous and universally despised Arlena Marshall is found strangled on a secluded Devon beach, the guests of the Jolly Roger Hotel discover that paradise can harbour the darkest of secrets. Agatha Christie's Evil under the Sun chronicles one of Hercule Poirot's most sun-soaked investigations, as the fastidious Belgian detective dissects the alibis, jealousies, and tangled passions of a cast of suspects who all had reason to wish the beautiful temptress dead. Christie, the undisputed Queen of Crime, demonstrates her masterful command of the classic whodunit, constructing an intricate web of misdirection that continuously outwits even the most attentive reader. The novel illustrates her signature technique of hiding truth in plain sight — every clue is presented fairly, yet the solution remains breathtakingly elusive until Poirot delivers his devastating denouement. With its sharp wit, elegant prose, and razor-sharp psychological insight into human envy and desire, this is Christie at the very height of her powers — a puzzle so perfectly constructed that you will want to read it twice, once to be fooled, and once to marvel at how it was done.
