dos três livros da agatha christie que eu já li eu achei esse o mais fraco sinceramente. a temática é boa em ideia, mas o clima de halloween só aparece na festa do começo da história e acho que foi uma ideia que foi desperdiçada. o mistério é interessante (apesar de eu ter conseguido descobrir - pelo menos uma parte dele - lá para o finalzinho do livro), mas a investigação não é muito uma investigação, são conversas e boatos o livro inteiro, o que me fez a explicação que o poirot deu de como ele descobriu me parecer um pouco forçada.
ainda é um livro da agatha então obviamente que é bom, mas eu sinto que não foi tão bom quanto podia e, sinceramente, o quanto eu esperava que ia ser.
Spoiler
como por exemplo quando perguntam como ele descobriu da participação de um dos assassinos e ele responde "só se encaixou" só que tipo não (?) eu pelo menos não consegui sentir nenhuma forte indicação da participação dele mesmo pensando em retrospectivaainda é um livro da agatha então obviamente que é bom, mas eu sinto que não foi tão bom quanto podia e, sinceramente, o quanto eu esperava que ia ser.
Trigger warning: children in harm's way
It's not my favorite Agatha Christie, but it's fascinating. I love how she describes the Halloween party. Snapdragon and bobbing for apples... it sounds nice, though I wouldn't want there to be murders in my party :-D Unless it was a murder mystery...
This is a very good read for October.

kinda interesting but way too much roundabout yapping
Yet again, another classic mystery novel. A quick and easy read. Hallowe'en Party draws one in from the start. One does not want to put the novel down until finished. Although, it is easy to figure out one part of the mystery half way through, you still continue to read. You know there are many surprises to come.
There was a whole lot of discussion on if various children in this novel were good looking/fat/"sexy". Not a fan.
Always a fan Poirot, I may be spoiled on narrators so I think I’ll probably stick to reading Christie as opposed to listening, but I can’t wait for this movie next year!

i LOVE Agatha Christie but am not a huge fan of the Poirot series. I read this one specifically for the GR Reader's Picks challenge "Fall Vibes" category. This felt like it took an Eternity to read.
i wasn't interested in the subject matter at all, didn't care for any of the characters much, and am just glad to be done with it. There were some good quotes tho and i can't bear to give an AC book less than 3 stars :)
