bethpeninger 's review for:
Cat Among the Pigeons
by Agatha Christie
3.5 stars
The great detective, Hercule Poirot, doesn't even enter into this story until 69% in. And he enters in thanks to the schoolgirl Julia Upjohn. Who, in my humble opinion, should have her own series of detective novels. She is a super clever person, she has the mind for detecting the hidden and unobtrusive. Christie should have done a series with Julia as a detective post-Meadowbank. Anyway, I digress. Back to the actual story.
Meadowbank, a posh girls' school, becomes center stage for a triple homicide. Teachers at the school are being killed off and tensions are high. Miss Bulstrode and Miss Chadwick, the school founders, are distressed at the very negative publicity as well as the baffling murders. Julia and Jennifer are both new to the school this term and while the loss of life is sad they are rather excited at the events that have occurred. Jennifer is wrapped up in improving her backhand and serve while Julia is quietly observing and putting pieces of this puzzle together. It's when Julia discovers the reason for the murders that Hercule Poirot enters the story because she steals away to London to ask for his help.
What does a revolution in the Middle East and a posh girls' school in England have to do with one another? Hercule Poirot arrives to complete the puzzle.
