Mystery Man

The Mystery Man is back! And more devious than ever...

The Mystery Man (who could also be a woman, it's a mystery after all) has kidnapped eight characters from the stories of Agatha Christie. Trouble is, we don't know who he's kidnapped!

In an email to the official Christie Community, the Mystery Man has revealed that beginning Thursday, July 7th 2011, he will allow one character per week the chance to speak.

And this is the place to put your theories and ideas to the Christie community, or just to browse to catch-up on all the latest events should you not want to use Twitter to follow the game. 

Victim 5

Whatever you do, do not name the character in the forum, it will ruin the game for other players! Though feel free to help others along, just don't make it too easy for them. Anyone guilty of making it too easy will find themselves bumped off! (and banned from entering the competition).

All four messages from Victim 5 have now been released, they were:

"I trust I will find the allies I seek"

"I'm not the woman I first seemed"

"I am a devoted Pagan with forceful opinions"

"I am a German endocrinologist"

Thank you everyone for the hints!  This one was difficult.

I think this victim is from a Miss Marple novel, but I'm not sure...   

This novel is not a Marple story. Some of Christie's other beloved detectives are m.i.a. in this one as well...

I think this victim is from a Miss Marple novel, but I'm not sure...

The whole Name of the novel is mentioned now... Just Look for the two Most written words ( of course nothing like I or and etc) and then Look through such a List. I'm sure you'll find it. Regards ^•^

I still can't get this one.  This is getting embarrassing...

Because this character is UNKNOWN to you, maybe it would help to just look through a list of Christie's novels. Maybe something will just click. Good Luck!

FINALLY! I GOT IT! 

But I was right, I didn´t read the novel. So it was just with luck and your clues. Thanks everybody!

ivi21 14 Aug 11 at 12:44 p.m. GMT

Hmmm, thanks for help, InspectorGrant, but I am afraid that I didn't read this book. It doesn't sound familiar.

InspectorGrant 14 Aug 11 at 12:18 p.m. GMT

Keep looking, and you are bound to get to your destination.  Also have a good look at this forum - there are a lot of clues.

Check EVERY person once you reach the right book and have arrived at your destination.  This character is not a major one in this novel, but she is a German endocrinologist who is in search of allies for her ideological cause.  This may give you an idea of the sort of novel this is.

Good luck.

ivi21 14 Aug 11 at 9:19 a.m. GMT

I thought I found the right book, but I can't find the person.

Probably it isn't the right one!

stephaniepina 12 Aug 11 at 1:23 p.m. GMT

Hooray!  Got it!  I really want to win those books :)

lidija_kov 10 Aug 11 at 10:29 p.m. GMT

Well, that's just great! Now I have to read this book, and I have an exam to study for.

Thank you for the hints everybody, without them I would not have found the victim.

MissTorcida 10 Aug 11 at 1:56 p.m. GMT

I have it!!!!!

Pupperegi 10 Aug 11 at 8:58 a.m. GMT

At last I found it! Nikolas and the last clue made it much easier!

GKCfan 09 Aug 11 at 8:39 p.m. GMT

4th and final clue!

Victim 5 - I am a German endocrinologist. #agathachristiegame http://goo.gl/wdAS0

This should really narrow it down, I think only one character fits this last clue...  If you've read the book in question, you should be fine.  However, if you're having trouble you may want to double-check the name's spelling on an English-language internet resource– some translations may have changed it, so you should watch out for that...

miss_mystery 09 Aug 11 at 3:31 p.m. GMT

i had a feeling which book it was, but i couldn't look until today as i been away from home, I read the book once but a long time ago

milako 09 Aug 11 at 3:14 p.m. GMT

I found the yesterday, after being totally clueless. The clues didn't tell me much at all at first, looked in many different places but was totally wrong. Now that I found it I suddenly understand some clues, and the funniest clue I found was one about a birthday... That made me sure I finally found the right novel! Got to continue reading it now before the next victim speaks...
