aelurus's review against another edition

2.5

medium-paced

J'aime beaucoup les romans d'Agatha Christie de manière général et en particulier ceux mettant en scène Hercule Poirot. Cela me renvoie à mon enfance et à la série que je regardais avec ma mamie. Mais ce livre a été une déception du début à la fin.
Il nous raconte différentes enquêtes mettant en scène bien évidemment Poirot et Hasting mais les histoires ne tiennent pas toujours debout et elles sont, pour la plupart, tirées par les cheveux.
Ce n'était pas vraiment crédible, ce n'était pas franchement passionnant.
Je me suis imposée le rythme de lecture d'une histoire par soir et j'avais hâte d'arriver au bout.

It's a collection of short stories, and not a complete novel. To me, these are rather like Christie's braindumps cobbled together. Very formulaic.

Also, seeing a racial slur 5 pages in did knock me over.
