The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding: a Hercule Poirot Short Story by Agatha Christie
5.0
When I was younger, I was not a fan of Agatha Christie's style of writing, then I started watching the excellent performances of David Suchet as the Belgian sleuth and found myself completely enchanted.
As I was reading "The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding," I found that the pictures in my head (you do have pictures in your head when you read, right?) were a re-run of the Poirot episode on PBS. For me, there was no mystery because I knew the story and was pleased to realize that I found some of the dialog in the story seemed to be the same as in the teleplay.
If you haven't read any of Agatha Christie's Poirot novels and stories, this would make an excellent starter. As much as I avoided her books in the past, I find myself now wanting to read more.
