Review of “Three is a Lucky Number"



“Three is a Lucky Number” is a short tale written by Margery Allingham, and edited in a book with other crime and suspense stories. The story is about a murderer named Ronald Frederick, who wants to kill his third wife, Edith. He is a professional killer but in the past hasn’t been lucky; his two ex-wives died in Ronald’s hands, but he can’t get their money. In this case, he is sure about his luck and has an evil optimism.

This story is very interesting, because it describes a killer’s mind, and gives you an idea of the lowest feelings of humanity. Ronald is a psycho and shows a meticulous plan to achieve his objectives. Nevertheless, Edith is an intelligent woman, and he doesn’t know that. The story will keep you really interested, but maybe will scare you and give a sad image of human beings.

However, “Three is a Lucky Number” is an excellent story for teenagers and adults who want a little moment of surprises and unexpected events. Maybe if you like a crime, blood, and detective stories, you will enjoy this tale.
