lucy_jane_reads 's review for:

Hallowe'en Party by Agatha Christie
4.0
mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Not my favourite Poirot despite promising beginnings. I found the ending unsatisfactory because one of the characters - admittedly a child - was behaving in a way that I found hard to believe and it made the climax of the book harder to enjoy because I didn’t buy into it. 

There were still lots of positive points and I’m reluctant to dock more than one star because for the majority of the book I was really enjoying it. Just a flat ending even though the murder was clever and murderers’ motivations interesting.
