Mrs. McGinty's Dead by Agatha Christie
3.0

This is another Poirot tale. That's it. Farewell.


Nah, I'm kidding ... or am I?
To be honest, if you are reading the 32 novel of Poirot you probably understand why I am saying what I am saying this. If you've read other Poirot novels then this is another like the previous. The only difference that I may point out is that Poirot for a lot of time was a bit mistaken and I bet that most people where thinking one killer (there was small hints) and then Christie went 180 degrees in another direction.

It's not her worst but it's another. Nothing spectacular - no fireworks. If you've read all her previous novels then you won't stop here. I wouldn't start here. One of the first with hastings are way better OR Murder or Roger Ackryod (by far her best work with Poirot - although crime in the orient express got more cover - probably due to the movie). Ackroyd is one movie/series that doesn't work unless it's book format.
