Hallowe'en Party by Agatha Christie
4.0

Happy Halloween re-read. I enjoyed this as much the second time and appreciated the context you gain of Agatha Christie as the years changed. This book, being set in the 1960s, gives a good overview of how Poirot and the world around him changed since the heyday of the 1930s whodunnits (even though this is still the same style of murder mystery).

I also gain a great deal of amusement about how much the people around her aren’t sad that Joyce, a little girl, was horribly murdered. Kids are demons but come on.

Despite this not being the strongest of her works, Agatha Christie is an incredible writer.
