I was a smidge disappointed with this, the Christie’s I’ve read before have been top-notch, but probably the vast quantity of her novels were good but not incredible, and those that are the most famous are for a reason. The end did feel a bit mad and a bit out of place
Three stars for the story - it wasn’t one of her best. Minus a star for republishing with the name of the film adaption as the title. It had nothing at all to do with Venice. A blatant con.
It has nothing to do with Venice. And yet, was sold in book stores all over northern Italy. So I finally bought it thinking I would be so cute reading about a murder in Venice…. In Venice. I was 100% cat fished by a book. It was like going on a date with a guy that used photos from 10 years prior and before he lived in his mom’s basement and not being able to hear anything he was saying because the disappointment was so overbearing.
Another solid Poirot. A little odd to see him in the 60s, but okay.
Wow! first Agatha Christie ever.
I can't wait to read more.
This didn't disappoint.
I know some people didn't care for this story, but I liked it. The murder was there, the plot was there. It delivered what I wanted. 5 stars.
I hope her next book delivers as much excitement as this one did.

I haven't read an Agatha Christie before so this was my first one! It was fine - I liked the premise and how everything unfolded. I thought it was a little predictable and the language was a little dated, but it was a good, easy read!
4/5 stars
pelajaran yang bisa diambil adalah :
- jangan asal ngomong (dalam hal ini pamer) untuk hal yang gak pernah sama sekali dilakukan. jangan sampai karena asal ngomong, nyawa jadi melayang.

Okay what.
How did Agatha Christie come up with all of these tiny little details? The way everything connects is so insane, especially seeing there were so many different things going on in this one. I always wait for there to be a question I have that doesn't get answered and there never is one? It's weird. Good weird.

Another solid Poirot novel and a reappearance from Ariadne Oliver, who witness a murder at a teenage Halloween party. Even though it’s an enjoyable read, it also felt a little repetitive and predictable and for once I managed to guess the murder early in the story.
There’s a clear progression in Poirot’s approach to a case, from the early pompous buffoon, solving the riddles in a mischievous way, without ever showing his hand, to these late novels where we are witness to his inner dialogue, pondering about the case and unraveling of society in general. This probably mirrors Christie’s own experience, there are after all nearly 50 years between this novel and the first Poirot novel from 1920 and it’s clear that Christie at 79 feels somewhat out of touch with the late sixties.
This one has just been adapted as a movie with Kenneth Branagh, which I really have to watch one of these days.
