Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Four excellent Poirot novels3 Act Tragedy, Evil under the Sun, The Hollow, and Sad Cypress are all excellent vintage Christie's that show her at the height of her powers. They're more emotionally loaded than some of the lighter books, especially The Hollow, which focuses on grief and mourning in many different contexts. Sad Cypress too is quite emotionally troubling. Very good. Rating: - There are no spoilers in this reviewAlthough these are not the most famous Poirot novels, they are certainly amongst the best and most sinister. One, Two, Buckle My Shoe (4/5) This little-known mystery beginning with the apparent suicide of the detective's dentist is one of the darkest Poirot novels and a neglected gem. Five Little Pigs (4/5) Again, this novel is comparatively little-known, but features an enticingly high-concept setup. Poirot is asked to investigate a criminal case that occurred sixteen years previously based solely on the testimony of surviving participants. Like "Cards on the Table", this is a novel whose primary satisfaction is intellectual: one for the Christie connoisseur, perhaps. Taken at the Flood (4/5) ... Read More: Rating:  - There are no spoilers in this reviewAlthough Poirot is past his prime for these novels, he is more active as a detective here than he was in the first volume of Ariadne Oliver novels, and in some ways this compendium represents his Indian Summer. This also represents better value and a more coherent anthology than the first Ariadne Oliver volume. Third Girl (3/5) One of the better among the late Poirot novels. Although there is a typical and far-fetched twist at the end of the book, the investigation is unusual, and both Poirot and Mrs. Oliver have plenty to do in the course of it. Hallowe'en Party (3/5) The whimsical period charm of television adaptations is far behind us now; this novel is so modern in feel that it could have been written almost ... Read More: Rating: - There are no spoilers in this reviewFirst some bad news for collectors of the Harper Collins Poirot: this volume contains "Murder on the Links" (which is available in the first Battles of Hastings anthology) and it's also one of the shortest of the Poirot anthologies. In fact, it's 200 pages (that's an entire novel!) shorter than the second Battle of Hastings volume for the same price. For this reason alone, I'd suggest that you buy other anthologies before you buy this one. Murder on the Links (4/5) There's a lot to enjoy in this book, especially Poirot's rivalry with a French detective who displays almost as much arrogance as he does himself. It isn't too difficult to solve part of the puzzle, but the later convolutions will leave most readers foxed. The ... Read More: Rating: - There are no spoilers in this reviewOne of the best Poirot compendia, featuring two of Christie's greatest novels. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (5/5) Reputedly one of Christie's finest pieces of misdirection, this locked room mystery has lost none of its capacity to baffle. Murder on the Orient Express (5/5) Even if you know the solution (which would hardly be surprising given the fame of this story) this is an entertaining novel. Murder in the Mews (4/5) A novella - or perhaps long short story - with an enjoyable plot twist. Also available in "Hercule Poirot: The Complete Short Stories", so you may already own it. Hercule Poirot's Christmas (3/5) There's plenty to like about this locked room mystery, but its solution ... Read More: |
