Product Description

Review
'Mesmerising ingenuity' Financial Times

Product Description
A perplexed girl thinks she might have killed someone...Three single girls shared the same London flat. The first worked as a secretary; the second was an artist; the third who came to Poirot for help, disappeared convinced she was a murderer. Now there were rumours of revolvers, flick-knives and blood stains. But, without hard evidence, it would take all Poirot's tenacity to establish whether the third girl was guilty innocent or insane!

4.0 out of 5 stars All I Am Saying Is Give This A Chance!, 10 April 2007
By C. Knowles "Coljaz" (Sheffield, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Poor old 'Third Girl'! One of those tag-end Christies that nobody particularly likes, nobody can remember, never makes it onto anybody's 'favourites' list but not bad enough to prop up the table either, so forgettable that nobody can even be bothered to review it on Amazon! Well let me rescue this little book from the oblivion of the unloved and unwanted. I actually think it's pretty good! Certainly for this late stage of Christie's career when she was usually more miss than hit, and it's way better than the 3 titles which directly precede it chronologically. A young woman visits Poirot to voice her fear that she "might" have committed a murder....and we're off into a, for the most part, cleverly plotted and intriguing case, even if there are a few details which don't bear too close an inspection. Interesting also is how plain Christie makes her views on 60s youth. This hardly bears comparison with many of the great titles of the 30s and 40s, but taken on its own merits it provides a very decent read. As long as you don't come to this expecting another 'Death On The Nile', I bet you'll be pleasantly surprised.

4.0 out of 5 stars Highly enjoyable, 9 Aug 2008
By daisyrock "sharonsworld" (nottingham) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I'm not convinced that I much approve of a Hercule Poirot prancing round swinging London in the 60s. But once I'd got over that, I enjoyed this lots. Typically twisty turny plot with a breathtakingly unlikely ending. Good fun.

3.0 out of 5 stars Average Christie, 3 Oct 2001
By E. J. Fletcher "Erinbron" (London UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Third Girl (The Christie Collection) (Paperback)
Not one of Christie's best books, but nor is it one of my least favourite.

It features Poirot and Ariadne Oliver. I think it would have been better as just a Poirot on his own, or perhaps with Hastings helping him. Oliver never seems real to me - perhaps created as a humourous character but I fail to see the charm or fun in her at all.

The plot is a fairly good one, and it reminds me in its structure of another, better, Christie book, but to say which would give you a clue to the solution! There are plenty of clues and red herrings of course, but I reckon some people will be able to work this one out.

I think I found it a bit messy, what with the story and action unfolding in various different places at pretty much the same time. Her village settings often work better because the single location focuses the mind on what is happening.

An easy read, interesting while it lasts, but not one of her more memorable stories.
