Agatha Christie is a famous mystery author. Hercule Poirot, a Belgian detective (known for his unique mustache & slight French accent), is the most famous character in her books. Poirot is similar to Sherlock Holmes in some ways (both use deduction and their train of thought), but the main difference in their methods is that Poirot is more of a psychological detective than a crime-scene analyzing type.
My dad introduced me to Poirot by showing me some episodes of the TV show, (from amazon instant). I really enjoyed watching them, so he suggested I go to the library and get a book. This book was written in 1938.
This is the first Poirot book that I read. It is a very good murder mystery, and it is also tough to find out who the murderer is till the very end of the book. The author does a good job sticking pieces of information in the book so that it is just enough for Poirot, (and the reader) to solve the mystery. This was a very interesting and suspenseful book.
My rating: 9 out of 10
