If you thrilled to Bud Corliss's cold ambition in 'A Kiss Before Dying,' Agatha Christie's 'Endless Night' delivers that same unsettling frisson: a charming sociopath climbing social ladders with ruthless precision, wrapped in prose so economical it cuts like wire. Christie dispenses with moralizing, letting you marinate in the protagonist's calculated deceptions while class warfare simmers beneath every transaction, every seduction, every lie.
This isn't cozy Christie—it's psychological suspense that trusts your intelligence, deploying narrative twists that rewire everything you thought you understood. The discomfort of empathizing with the irredeemable? That's the entire, addictive point.
