A Haunting in Venice Movie Tie-in: A Hercule Poirot Mystery
by Agatha Christie, Agatha Christie
Not my favourite Poirot but I did find myself drawn into the small village and trying to figure out the murderer - some of which I managed to unravel before Poirot. There’s a lot said about this book, I think particularly that the victim(s) is a child. And Christie’s attempts to make her unlikable and an unsympathetic victim ultimately failed for me. There’s also a lot of interesting perceptions of “young people” and the modernising of society that I found interesting. There are some rather dull sections about gardening which I recommend skipping over. I really enjoyed listening to Robin Stevens discuss this on the Tea & Murder podcast which I recommend after reading. And also looking forward to seeing the movie adaptation which I think will be quite different.
