Hercule Poirot's Christmas by Agatha ChristieMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The first book I finished in 2020 was The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. I thought it would be good to end the year with another Agatha Christie. A Christmas story seemed appropriate for the season. Unfortunately, I underestimated how busy Christmas would be (as I always do). So I finished this Christmas story in January 2021.
It seemed reasonable that the murderer wouldn’t be any of the obvious suspects but when the “who” in the “who done it” was revealed, it made perfect sense. A very satisfying conclusion. And some interesting writing along the way, for example, this description of one of the characters:
“...a mouth that knew only its own desires and that was as yet unaware of pity.”
