Product Description:
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.

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 ... Read More

During preparations for a Halloween party a girl announces she had seen a murder several years earlier. At the time nobody believes her, but when she is murdered that evening, some people begin to suspect she was telling the truth. Enter Hercule Poirot. Let the detection begin!
Poirot is in top form: listening to everyone, asking what seem to be totally irrevelevant questions, and slowly putting all the pieces of the puzzle together -- classical Agatha Christie.
The plot is very ... Read More

I love reading mysteries because they really made my brain tick. They deliver more than a mindless hobby, which reading can sometimes be and really gear me up and make me alert for clues, suspects and provide with great satisfaction when I find myself on the right track. Having said that, Agatha Christie and her charming books fit that hunger to a tee, I find their slightly old fashioned approach so charming and alluring that I always finding myself craving them. She is still my favorite mystery author even ... Read More
