In Hallowe’en Party by Agatha Christie, Judith Butler has organized an Eleven Plus party. During the party, Joyce Reynolds is murdered. It appears that she was murdered to prevent her from revealing an earlier murder that she witnessed, but which one? And who was the murderer? And why was she, a compulsive liar, even believed? And what about the au pair girl who forged a will but ran off before she could be prosecuted? At 79, Agatha Christie still has it- so many suspects and such a straightforward crime once it is revealed.

This Hercule Poirot mystery is considered one of Christie's lesser offerings.  However, I enjoyed it.  I look forward to seeing how "A Haunting in Venice" has adapted it.  This book is set in the English countryside, so the move to Venice will be interesting.
