Okay, I love this novel, but I’m including it because I love the 1982 film even more. So this recommendation also serves as a love letter to all of the wildly terrific cinematic takes on Christie over the years that’s been a huge influence on me. The film, starring Peter Ustinov as Poirot, alongside Jane Birkin, Maggie Smith, Diana Rigg, Roddy McDowall, James Mason, and Sylvia Miles, wisely moved the action from the British coastline to sunny, glamorous Majorca. It’s a visual treat with costumes, musical numbers, and plenty of campy ripostes. And yet it’s also a devilish mystery.
