Murder Is Easy by Agatha Christie
5.0
I think I'm getting better at guessing the killer. I had a suspect in mind, & a motive, & was sure they were the killer just moments before they were revealed as such. It didn't ruin my enjoyment of the book at all.
A standalone story, a retired police detective has a chance meeting with a woman intent on reporting a crime to Scotland Yard, only to find out later the woman was killed in an accident. Fitzwilliam isn't so sure it was accidental, & travels to the woman's village to ask a few questions about some suspicious deaths.
This was was a bit different, which I liked. While I enjoy Poirot, he isn't my favorite, so it was nice to read one of her less popular stories. This one also has a hint of spookiness in it. The village feels evil according to some characters, & villagers are rumored to conduct strange rituals in the forest on certain nights. There's a sense of foreboding & gloom in the story. That was really fun.
