Sophie Hannah has completely blown me away at her ability of bringing Agatha Christie's Poirot back to life. I loved this Christmas mystery with a perfect mix of clues and red herrings so you can try and solve the case along with Poirot. All the characters were fun and completely brought to life with different sets of personalities. This truly felt like reading a classic Poirot and is a perfect cosy mystery read for Christmas. I can't wait to see what comes next.

Æ syns den hadde alt ei god Poirot-bok skal ha! Minus Captain Hastings … Litt treg start, men jamen mæ spennende på slutten! Elske når han samle alle i et rom på slutten for å avsløre morderen.
3/5
I haven't read many of the original Poirot books so read my review with that in mind, I guess.
It was pretty good, although i was/am a little confused as to who Catchpool is and where Hastings went, but that may have been cleared up in the first book of the (new) series, which i have not read (yet?).
Otherwise, it dragged a tiny bit in the middle, but it was bearable and got better again.
And hey, i know there is a significant age gap between Catchpool and Poirot and I have no idea in what relation they stand to each other [again, this is the first book of the new installment i have read], but at some points it does read like Catchpool, at least, is very much in love with Poirot.

Liked the entirety of the book except for the ending, I would have rather had an ending which I could have predicted as the book seeds alot of clues for different things. Speculating was fun but ending it with info that was quite a reach dimished the fun for me quite a bit.
