I've read around 15 Hercule Poirot books and collections, all of them in Finnish. Mrs. McGinty's Dead is one of the weaker ones. It felt more like a Miss Marple than a Poirot mystery. I don't have much to say about this book. Judged on Christie's own standards it's really nothing special, however it's a pleasant read just like most Poirot stories.

I love this Poirot fella, his books are a great little length and I rip through them so quickly thanks to the perfect pacing. While this isn't as good as the previous two I'd read, Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile, it was still a great read, and a pleasant confirmation that even a fairly average entry in this series is quite enjoyable. Of course, the setting of rural England is nowhere near the other two, but it is a charming enough spot by the end and Christie takes the opportunity to poke some fun at it.
