Everyone loves a good mystery now and then. While I'm not a huge fan, there is something delicious about Agatha Christie mysteries even if you have to wait until literally the last page to find out how the whole things unravels. I had never read any of the Hercule Poirot books, so I thought that I should start at the beginning of the series.
Set in England during the Great War,
a wounded Mr. Hastings is sent to recover in the English countryside at the
estate of an old friend. While he is there, the elderly mistress of the house
is mysteriously found dead during the night. At Hastings’ insistence, the
family calls upon the renowned Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot to expose the
culprit. In his usual elegant and sophisticated manner, Poirot untangles a
seemingly impossible and surprising web which will have the reader guessing
until the very last!
