Can murder be dull? Well, perhaps not the committing of the crime, but sometimes the explanation and solution of it, as witnessed in the Alley Theatre's world premiere adaptation of Agatha Christie'sBecause of its ingenious narrator-driven plot with its numerous twists and curves, Christie's book has been deemed a classic of its genre. It was her third detective novel to feature her inspired creation, Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot .
There will be no spoilers in this review. What's the point of a who-done-it if you're told who done it? Ah, that's up to you, dear amateur sleuth. Can you outfox that ol' Dame Queen of Crime herself? Good luck to you, with the plot's various characters, all with specific motives, each with secrets of their own.
Ralph has run away after the murder and his footprints have been found on the windowsill and in the garden. He must be the culprit announces Inspector Raglan with the absolute conviction of a member of the constabulary who doesn't really know much of anything. Family friend and big game hunter Major Blunt , staying at the estate, also needs funds. As he was one of the last persons to see Ackroyd alive, could he be the killer? But he's a loyal old friend? Surely, not him.
On and on swim the red herrings, stirring up waves and eddies to deflect and mystify. It's all complicated and convoluted, and, yet, somewhat pastel. This story's not blood red, it's pink.
