A review by wynter
The Clocks by Agatha Christie

4.0

A perfect little mystery for Poirot that feels like Christie's best classics. The set up is great: a mysterious phone call, the odd clocks, an unidentified deadman. Unfortunately there is very little of Poirot himself, just like with his other later books, and the most interesting clues turn out to be red herrings- to my great disappointment. Agatha also loved to dabble with espionage in her fiction, so she threw in an awkward Cold War bit in there that just didn't fit. Stick to the cozy mystery, lady! I'm sad I'm running out of Poirot books.
