namjhyuns 's review for:
Cat Among the Pigeons
by Agatha Christie
Another excellent book from Agatha Christie. It never cease to amaze me how many ways she's find to tell a story, to create an entire world and the people living in it. The relations, the tension, the truths and lies we know and what we don't see but it's right in front of us and are key to the solution of the mystery.
This book can only be described as a ball of yarn. Slowly, slowly you pull the string and untangle everything. It takes time and care, and you know the why but don't know the who or how. There's a feeling of something sinister happening inside a familiar place. And isn't that the very definition of horror? When something familiar, that feels like home, suddenly it's a place full of liers and murder?
Most of the mystery is solved through the eyes of child and that was a delicious twist. That's right! Poirot doesn't appear until almost the end of the story and to piece everything together with his little grey cells.
This also meant we have a great variety of characters running around and their personalities slowly showing its true colors. I personally loved Julia Upjohn, the smart young lady who almost solves everything; and let's not forget Adam Goodman. He is charming, hilarious and devious; I found him incredibly entertaining.
I can't say more without spoiling the plot, but this books is highly recommend. A must read!
