chehla 's review for:
Hallowe'en Party
by Agatha Christie
This was the first novel I've read for Agatha Christie. I remember the first time was in my firs language (Arabic), since then, the story (and case) held a special place in my heart for it had started my journey with Christie's world of investigations and mystery.
The story is captivating in a way that fascinates the reader and keeps them intrigued with the developments and events.It invites the reader to think and try solving the case alongside Poirot.
The story follows the murder of the child Joyce at a halloween party that Ms Oliver was invitedto. When the murder occurs, Ms.Oliver calls for Mr. Poirot whom she met in a previous case of his. There are many cruel cases with cold blooded murderers. Yet, the cases with child murderers always seems to be more heartless.
What I was not a fan of was the long detailed descriptions and talks despite the fact that I know that they are usually necessary in crime novels to help explain or to solve the case and clarify what happened better. Sadly though, it was not my cup of tea, but other than that I have no complains and this is one of my favorite novels of Agatha Christie.
