“The past is the father of the present.”
Review of Hallowe’en Party by Agatha Christie
What It’s About
When a Hallowe’en party turns deadly, it falls to Hercule Poirot to unmask a murderer…
During a night of party games, Joyce Reynolds boasts that she once witnessed a murder. No one believes her, but then she is found drowned, face down in an apple-bobbing tub.
Set against a night of trickery and the occult, Hercule Poirot and Ariadne Oliver must race to uncover the real evil responsible for this ghastly murder.
Hallowe’en Party is the sensational Agatha Christie novel that inspired the brand new feature film directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh.
What I Liked About This Book
This is not my favourite of Agatha Christie’s books. But it did have all the Halloween/Autumn vibes I was looking for.
Agatha Christie is one of my favourite writers ever.
I grew up with her stories and Hercule Poirot will always have a special place in my heart.
So when I found myself in a bit of a reading slump around Halloween, I thought “What better writer than Agatha Christie to help me get back into reading”.
