My musings to follow later, but a great detective story.
At Christmas 2018 I watched the latest televised version of this wonderful story starring John Malkovich as Hercule Poirot.

Excellent classic Christie. I always love reading this one as it's very Torbay-centric (Agatha Christie's and my home town). The premise is brilliant with a series of murders being completed in alphabetical order. I really enjoy that the murders are so orderly when Poirot himself is the king of having everything in order. I also love that Poirot gets all of those involved in the situation to conduct their own sleuthing and help him in the investigation to help him ultimately catch the culprit.

It's Agatha Christie book. what else you need.
it's my favourite detective Poirot goes on a round.
I don't know whether I was so used to this detective stories or what, I can guess the most of the things well before...
but it is beautifully written all over, till the last page you will be expecting Poirot to clarify you. ...more
