Abstract

A. Christie set a goal for herself: to create an ideal detective story that cannot be solved. However, she unsuccessfully combined two genres: a detective story, which is based on functionality, and a psychological novel, in which introspection plays an important role. As a result, both genres disintegrate, and the reader can unravel the mystery of the detective already at the beginning of the novel.
