Synopsis
At a Hallowe'en party, Hercule Poirot aids mystery writer Ariadne Oliver in an investigation into the murder of a young girl-who may have witnessed a murder herself. But unmasking the killer proves more daunting than bobbing for apples.
Review
Hallowe'en Party wasn't the best Agatha Christie novel, but it was far from the worst. Ariadne Oliver teams up with Hercule Poirot when a murder or possibly two, has been committed. While I loved the back and forth between Ariadne and Poirot and I love anything to do with Halloween, the mystery left something to be desired. Hallowe'en Party cast suspicion on the killer too obviously and too early. You didn't get to experience the usual surprising Poirot reveals the killer moment. A decent but ultimately unremarkable Christie novel.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the review! I have this in my pile to read.
ReplyDeleteIt surprise me that Agatha Christie would eben have a book called Hallowe'en Party. It sounds like a Christopher Pike or R.L. Stine novel.
ReplyDeleteAww to bad it wasn't superb
