whiskeytown 's review for:

Cat Among the Pigeons by Agatha Christie
4.0

Whether this was better written, or just because it has been a while since I read a Poirot novel, this felt much more enjoyable than the last few I have read. It also is worth noting that Poirot himself is only introduced into the story quite late, when we are already nearly at the end. This allows the majority of the novel to flow and develop much more naturally.

Without giving too much away, I'll just say that in this particular instance, Poirot's international connections come in as a bit of a deus ex machina to provide the crucial plot twist, though the actual culprit of the murders is discoverable without this.
