johnbreeden 's review for:
Appointment with Death
by Agatha Christie
This novel was not my favorite for Christie, by far. I kind of guessed the murderer at one stage, but red herrings are flying everywhere here. There are also some cases of last-minute revelations that I thought should come earlier. I will clearly be continuing with the Poirot novels, but this one borders on being a Poirot-lite book with the great detective only appearing significantly in the last parts of the book. It is a purely psychological study of a family under a tyrannical mother and the people she has manipulated over time. It was not of the caliber I expected, but I continue forward.
