The Curtain was a theater located at 1626 Broadway, between 49th and 50th Streets, in New York City. The 1,611-seat theater, designed by Thomas W. Lamb, opened on August 13, 1918, with the play The Lion and the Mouse. The theater was demolished in 1953.
Agatha Christie’s writing style was very concise and to the point. She was able to create a great sense of suspense and tension in her writing, while still providing enough detail to keep the reader engaged.
The Curtain is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie, first published in the United Kingdom by William Collins & Sons in September 1975. The book introduces the character of Ariadne Oliver, a successful novelist and friend of Christie’s fictional detective Hercule Poirot, who appears in several of Christie’s works. The plot follows Poirot and Oliver as they investigate a series of murders at a country house, which may be connected to a case from Poirot’s past.
The Curtain is generally considered to be one of Christie’s weaker works, with many critics finding the plot to be convoluted and difficult to follow. However, the book was well-received by some readers, and Christie’s publisher considered it to be one of her best works.
