Elephants Can Remember
by Agatha Christie
Slowly but surely I am making my way through these Agatha Christie novels. This one is about a murder in the past of Mrs. Oliver's goddaughter when both her parents died in an apparent murder suicide. Mrs Oliver's goddaughter possible future mother-in-law wants to know whether it was the father who killed the mother or the other way around. Poirot and Mrs Oliver get involved, not only to help her goddaughter get her questions answered, but also to find out why the mother-in-law wanted to know such an odd question.
I did really enjoy this one and I'm not sure why I left it so late to read. I listened to this on audiobook and, as always, I really enjoyed it in this format. It was a very typical Agatha Christie mystery, despite it being a cold case from years earlier. I enjoyed how Mrs Oliver and Poirot worked together again and how their methods differered so much. I would say that I did manage to guess part of the mystery by about halfway through the book though I don't know whether the clues were just a little more obvious than normal, or whether because I've been reading so many Christie novels that I have an idea about which plot points she likes to use. Howvever, I still wanted to finish the book even with mostly guessing the killer.
3.5 stars!
