A review by culuriel
Hallowe'en Party by Agatha Christie

4.0

A classic Agatha Christie, and the plot was adapted for a Haunting in Venice. Christie fills this with lots of generational angst as the old folks wring their metaphorical hands whining about “kids today” in the 1960s. Poirot figures it out quite early in the book, and I feel like an idiot for not figuring it out too. I realize now the same feint was used in one of the 12 “Marple” stories that came out a couple years back. From there, Poirot is still interviewing people so he can someone who is still in danger and why. The fantastic ending is very “the kids are all right”, showing they are quite useful when the old folks plot evil.
