BOOK REVIEW: Hercule Poirot's Christmas by Agatha Christie
I have always been a strong fan of Nancy Drew novels when I was growing up. Mystery and detective novels hold a special place in my heart. The hype around Agatha Christie's novels was so rife that I decided to give her book a go, and boy, am I hooked!
Christmas is a time of goodwill and of family reunion - except for the Lee family. This year will be different. Millionaire twice over, tyrannical and ruthless - has Simeon Lee become sentimental about his children in his old age? Or does he have a more sinister motive in bringing them all together?
With unseasonal trepidation, the family assembles. In a brilliantly created atmosphere of jealousy and suspicion, a brutal murder is committed. Hercule Poirot will need all his mastery to solve this audacious crime.
The way Agatha weaves the characters in the story is meaningful and leads the reader towards tbe unexpected ending. I will definitely delve further into more of her books for these tantalizing murder mysteries.
