It's been a very long time since I last read a Hercule Poirot murder-mystery, and I had to reacquaint myself to the way my favorite Christie sleuth thinks and operates. This was a library book club selection for October, and an apt one. This one deals with... well, (figurative) skeletons in the clos...

He immediately delves into recent local deaths to see if any could be the murder that the girl insists sh...
Spence, Poirot, and Mrs. Oliver together again! I love these 3 together but I guessed the murderer immediately. I hate when I figure it out at the beginning. I don't enjoy the story as much.
During the preparations for a Halloween party a young girl, Joyce, proclaims that she once saw a murder done. Nobody believes the girl, even though she insists it’s true, and the preparations for the party are finished without anyone paying anymore attention to the girl’s statement.Later that evenin...
