Black Coffee

Reading 'Black Coffee' as a script feels different from her prose mysteries. Do you think the theatrical structure heightens or diminishes the tension?

The dialogue-driven format offers a different experience. I'm curious whether she intended it for stage performance or novelization, and how that affects the storytelling.

Christie’s puzzle-solving style is legendary, but I wondered if the play's structure made some hints less obvious, adding to the challenge or risking confusion.
