The Unexpected Guest - By: L. Taylor, 13 Apr 2006 
This was a bit like beingin the theatre. The atmosphere was there & the 'play' was handled brilliantly. Always a stingin the tail with Agatha Christie & no disappointment with this one. Sit back, close your eyes & enjoy.
Excellent Christie adaptation - By: , 02 Jul 1999 
On a very foggy nightin Wales, Michael Starkwedder runs his car into a ditch. He goes to the nearest house where he finds Laura Warwick who confesses to having murdered her husband, Richard, a person confined to a wheelchair.
Instead of calling the police, he coaxes Laura into telling her story. She provides him with the details of why & how she killed her abusive spouse. Michael agrees to help her hide the truth by blaming it on someone else. Laura chooses MacGregor. The Canadian tourist hates Richard for running over his childin a DUI incidentin which the law dropped the charges against the pompous Richard. Sergeant Cadwallader & Inspector Thomas investigate only to learn that the Canadian died two years ago. What is the nest step for Michael & Laura?
BLACK COFFEE, the latest adaptation of an Agatha Christie play, was an entertaining novella that fans fully enjoyed. The second "Agatha light" tale, THE UNEXPECTED GUEST, is an entertaining story that continues to stays true to the twists that became the trademark of the great Ms. Christie. Charles Osborne does a brilliant conversion that will please fans of the famous novelist & bringin new readers who will hunt for one-hundred per cent pure Christie works.
