Review: Hercule Poirot's Christmas

Hercule Poirot's Christmas by Agatha Christie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow. I totally didn't see that coming. I think it is really difficult to arrive at the murderer simply because we will never look at that direction. But Agatha Christie madam had been giving hints throughout, which Hercule Poirot picks up and most of us miss. This work again shows why she is called Queen of Crime. Of her peers and even some of her successors, she experimented with the genre more than anyone else, with a finesse only capable for someone who is at the height of their skill and someone who thoroughly enjoyed what she did.

A must read for crime mystery aficionado.
