This is a novelisation of a party by Agatha Christie. I'm extremely glad I didn't pay for it.
The writing is fairly poor, and it reads like a series of stage directions translated into sentences. The plot is quite simple and it was a quick read.

As usual what I think is that Christie's mysteries with Poirot don't seem to stand the test of time. They are not good mysteries by standard of today. But, what I like about Christie's stories, as always, the atmosphere it creates and gets you in the story even if it's not that interesting.

This is an adaptation of Agatha Christi's original. I think Osborne has tried to keep to Agatha's way of dealing Poirot's character. His green eyes twinkling, calling up the whole family before revealing the truth, getting an estranged couple together etc are all in this story too.
