Ah, Dame Agatha, as tricksy as the Fae, really. She is such a magician, waving a hand over here to catch your attention while she unobtrusively manipulates something with the other hand. There were so many plausible red herrings in this novel. I completely misjudged several characters and was led astray by the fishy aroma of those herrings! By the end, I was willing to believe anyone but Poirot himself had murdered the woman in question.

Wow, two Agatha Christie novels in a row. Christie’s books remain short and full of red herrings. Poirot enters a vacation on a secluded island and hopes for peace and quiet, but these plans go awry when a beautiful lady dies by strangulation. Of course Poirot must use his little grey cells in catching the lies of the killer. Sometimes, Poirot seems distracted by other events and misses a few clues. Christie’s books always present a day or two of fun and delicious stories.

De volta à Agatha Christie e dando continuidade aos desafios: 2023, ler AC e continuar a seguir a ordem cronológica.

Não tenho certeza se já havia lido o livro, mas já tinha assistido ao episódio do seriado. Curioso que ao assistir o seriado fixei melhor o culpado, fica a dica: quem quiser depois de ler os livros, ver o seriado Poirot (ainda não cheguei à Miss Marple) vai ficar encantado com a produção e fidelidade aos livros.
