The Agatha Christie Hour Set 2 DVD Review

I have always been a fan of Agatha Christie. I have read many of her books, even though they would probably be considered "before my time". Most of the copies I have are yellowed with age, but a good story is timeless and Agatha Christie is a writer for all generations. But one thing I didn't know until recently is that she also had her own television series. Only the British could find a way to take a classic mystery novel and turn it into an equally entertaining mini series. And that is exactly what they've done with the Agatha Christie Hour as seen on PBS.

I was lucky enough to receive a copy of The Agatha Christie Hour Set 2 to review.  The discs contain five stories that feature some of Christie's lesser known protagonists. They will find themselves caught up in false accusations, love affairs and questionable motives that all inevitably lead to murder.  The five episodes included are as follows:

1)Magnolia Blossom - This is the story an unhappy wife who is trying to escape her marriage. You will find yourself really relating to the wife, and you may even want to forgive her if she is the guilty party.

2) The Mystery of the Blue Jar - This one is about a young man who consults an expert on the paranormal. Having always had an interest in this field myself, this one was definitely my favorite. It will leave you wondering is the supernatural really could be real.

3) The Red Signal-This is about a seance that foretells of sudden death and danger. It really gave me the creeps, especially when the foreshadowing really does come to pass.

4) Jane in Search of a Job- An Englishwomen who is desperate for work finds herself in a dangerous predicament. Get ready for some edge of the seat drama.

5) The Manhood of Edward Robinson-A fiance who is overwhelmed with the thought of marriage takes off a field trip, only to find himself in more trouble than he could have imagined.


Each of the stories is told in a way that Agatha Christie would be proud off. If you want to get the advantage of five amazing stories at one low price, than this is the box set for your. You can order The Agatha Christie Hour Set 2 for only $39.99 at Acorn Media.
