What a nice whodunit book! There is no mystery Hercule Poirot can’t solve lol

If you saw the film A Haunting in Venice (2023) that was supposedly inspired by this book, just know that there is very little in common with the stories told in this book and the film.  I didn't love the film or it's ending.  I wasn't looking forward to reading this book because of the film but I did enjoy the book much more than I expected.   The book was a fun mystery read.

This was a great Halloween time but I will say that it isn't my favorite of Agatha Christie's. It's definitely a great seasonal read and I may revisit it on some Halloween in the future.

This book was so fun and silly. I loved how much everyone bullied the 12 year old who died. It also felt like it gave me a lot of insight into the culture of the English countryside in the 60s.

it’s definitely no murder on the orient express but it was a fun halloween read!
