paulopaperbooksonly 's review for:
Cat Among the Pigeons
by Agatha Christie
I have to say BAH!.
Don't get me wrong. It's a cool story, easy to follow, small cast where the vast majority are women an so on.. my main problem is that; this was supposed to be a Poirot novel yet it was page 160 and he was still not there. It's absurd. If you have been reading my reviews you know that Christie, as she writes more and more Poirot she became sick of him. She wanted to do something else, write more Miss Marple or other characters but the publishers wanted money so she wrote more Poirot. And the last 3 or 4 it shows that. He arrives late, barely there and basically solves the crime with little to none inconvenience. It's super easy - feeling almost all people around him to be plain dumb. Police and detectives are so bad doing their job , compare with a guy now what? 70? Is more smart than any of them.
Oh well, I will be glad to finish the series.. and that's a shame. 7/10
