Angie's Comments: I
have read most of Agatha Christie’s books, including the books
featuring Hercule Poirot. Sophie Hannah’s Hercule Poirot is not Agatha
Christie’s Poirot, which is to be expected. They are different authors
with different interpretations of the same characters. If you pick up
this book expecting to read Agatha Christie, you will be disappointed.
You should only pick up this book if you expect to read an
interpretation of Agatha Christie for the present time. I enjoyed the
writing style. The mystery was interesting and when you thought you had
the truth, then Hannah threw in some more twists and turns happened. The
denouement at the end lasted for longer than it ought to have.
This book is recommended for those who enjoy mysteries.
