Sad Cypress was a quick read, and one thing I noticed that's distinct about the writing style is that nearly the entire novel is told in dialogue-- very little description or narration. Also interesting to note that unlike most detective novels I've read, investigator Hercule Poirot is really not the central character of the story. The storyline itself wasn't my cup of tea, but it was still fun to read an old fashioned mystery.
