Another Christie classic! ( )

I haven't read any other books by Agatha Christie, so I don't know how this compares to them. It was a quick and enjoyable read, and I didn't really see the ending coming. I decided to read this book since I'd seen the Poirot tv series and liked it. This story is written from Hastings' point of view, and Inspector Japp makes a short appearance. ( )

Introducing Hercule Poirot, the fastidious Belgian private detective destined to become world renowned as one of Agatha Christie's two famous detectives. This one is set in an old house in England where Perot happens to be visiting. We also meet Hastings, the recovering war veteran who goes on to become Poirot's sidekick. Hastings has a lot to learn, and Christie does a wonderful job off starting off the pair in this episode.

THe story concerns a wealthy woman murdered in her locked bedroom. There are numerous suspects, and many red herrings, and ends with the famous scene where Poirot gathers all together and reveals the answers. Delightful. ( )

A classic Agatha Christie murder mystery, but didn't make me turn the pages in haste. She gives out clues easily overlooked, the details are all there until the reader is overwhelmed. ( )
