This book was disappointing to me. I read Agatha Christie books before. But this was the least favorite so far.
It started out very slow. I just didn't get how important in the story that what Joyce kept repeating to everyone. Who actually listened to kids back than? Also Miranda, how she spoke to people. I like a good theme book and mystery. But this story was just a party. Nothing else was about Halloween.
The banter between Poirot and Mrs. Oliver was interesting. Speaking to each other with common things. Doing a favor for a friend, I haven't read so far about Poirot.
Some of Christie's books snag you from the start. Others are a bit lacking I have found out.
After watching a version of Hallowe’en Party I looked for the depth of the characters
Rowena Drake how she fell for charm and money, prestige. How dangerous she can be. With a gardener-artist, Michael Garfield around, another with a story of how far would he go for money. And how far would he go with his own daughter. Perfect character for a all around women’s man. There goes the town! A lot of townswomen got fooled . At the end our favorite detective says. For this day we light candles to remember the people.
Tv version made the story more interesting.
I look forward to reading more Agatha Christie. But for now I have to give Hallowe'en Party 4
