Cat Among the Pigeons by Agatha Christie
3.0

My main qualm with this one is the dismissive nature of miscarriage and stillbirth and presumption that women need to bounce back to life as normal after.

Christie takes a different approach with this one showing the reader in depth the motive before diving into the real mystery.

This book had governmental collapse, stolen jewels, murder, school-aged setting and lots and lots of twists.

It was probably 3 too many twists at the end for me. And I wanted more time with Poirot. He really only comes into this one in the last 25% of the book.

Overall Rating: 3.5/5.

TW: death, murder, robbery, miscarriage, stillbirth
