Why Didn't They Ask Evans?











tags: murder mystery
⭐⭐⭐⭐
 
From Goodreads
When Bobby Jones goes to retrieve his wayward golf ball at the bottom of a cliff he little expects that he will find a dying man there. With his last breath the man asks ‚ "Why didn't they ask Evans?" Intrigued by this question Bobby and his vivacious friend Frankie Derwent set out to solve the mystery - putting their own lives in great danger along the way.

 Agatha Christie was so clever and why I like her mystery novels. This novel doesn't have Poirot nor the usual Agatha Christie regular sleuths. This is similar to Tommy and Tuppence,. Bobby and Frankie are a pair of young male and female friends who tried to solve the complicated murder mystery. It has a great cast of characters with so many red herrings. Lady Frankie Derwent is smarter and more daring than her somewhat timid friend (boyfriend to be) Bobby. 

Highly recommended for Agatha fans.
