larsdradrach 's review for:
Cat Among the Pigeons
by Agatha Christie
Another great Poirot novel (even though he only appears in the final part of the novel)
Again Christie masterfully plays with the format and lets the story start in a not specified arabic country on the verge of a civil war, where we follow the young prince regent and his english friend and pilot Bob, this first part is told primarilly by Bob and a 3. person narrator who set's the scene thoughout the novel by coming up with predictions and forewarnings, the narrative then shifts to England, where we learn about the fate of Bob and the Prince from the Foreign Service before we shift our attention to a girls school where the reamining action takes place.
The majority of the story is told by our narrator and a mixture of minor characters and girls at the school each one adding their own perspective and giving us clues (and misdirections), while the teachers is killed one after another, before Poirot enters the scene and quickly manages to cast some light on the muddy picture.
