In short, no. In the book, it was Kirsten who killed Rachel. Young "delinquent" Jack was a prolific seducer of older woman and an expert at manipulation, and so he charmed middle-aged housekeeper Kirsten and made her believe he was in love with her. Then, when his adoptive mother refused his requests for cash to pay off his debts, Jack persuaded Ki...
There was more bad news for Kirsten when Dr Calgary made his belated appearance and announced, with much fanfare, that he was poor innocent Jack's alibi. The revelation that Jack couldn'thave killed Rachel meant that another member of the household had done the terrible deed – and suddenly everyone was suspicious of everyone else. No one knew anyth...
In the TV adaptation everyone freaked out when they discovered Tina and Mickey's secret relationship. Sure, they might not be biologically related – but they'd been raised as siblings! So weird! This storyline originates from the book, although the idea that they're in love is only raised in the last couple of pages and we never see them actually g...
No. But looking at Christie's version of Hester, you can see where this storyline comes from. When we meet her in the novel, flighty and fragile Hester's 'rebellion' is in the past, when she ran away to become a terrible actress and had an affair with a middle aged married man. She wasn't particularly keen on either the acting or the lover, but she...
No, absolutely not. This is a real twist in the TV adaptation. Phelps' story makes Kirsten into Jack's mother, not his lover. She conceived Jack with her boss Leo when she was only 15, and stayed on in the household to watch him grow up as Rachel and Leo's "adpoted" son, thinking he'd been abandoned by his parents. But in the novel, Jack was truly ...
In the TV adaptation, Calgary declines to get the police involved – firstly because he has only just been discharged from the asylum, and secondly because when he does ring them, paedophilic police boss Bellamy tries to run him over in a car and kills himself in the process. That's enough to put anyone off. But in the book, the police were involved...
No. Dr Arthur Calgary's account of the night was a lie in the TV version, but true in the novel. In Christie's version of events, he was a physicist who had been on his way back to the train station after visiting friends in the area. He gave a lift to hitchhiker Jack, but shortly afterwards was hit by a car and suffered a terrible concussion, inco...
