This was a fun read. With lots and lots of murders. It had a great concept, brilliant writing and Hercule Poirot.
SusannaG - Confessions of a Crazy Cat Lady
This is a Poirot mystery, and one I hadn't read before, and one from the "classic" period - 1936.

A very refreshing Christie, if I may say so. And I may, since she tells you so herself in the foreword: only four suspects, all known upfront and all equally likely to have committed the investigated murder.Needless to say, in a purely psychological investigation, Poirot is at his best.

Oh, good grief! I ususally love, Agatha Christie, but this book bored me to tears!
