Hallowe'en Party by Agatha Christie

4.0

---

This book accompanied me through my public transportation commute to my first workplace. Even after a long day, I could not put this one down. Christie excellently manages to provoke the reader to ping-pong between possible suspects for the murder. She will keep the reader one hundred percent certain that the murderer is Mr. --- on one page and cause an intense amount of doubt about that assessment in the next chapter. She writes wittingly and Hercule Poirot is a worthy detective for a Hallowe'en murder mystery. He uncovers the past of a handful of characters in order to solve this mystery and takes us through various possibilities as we try to unearth what exactly happened at the Hallowe'en party.
