Lord Edgware Dies by Agatha Christie

3.0

Lord Edgware Dies offers a complex whodunit in the classic Christie fashion, where Hercule Poirot faces the challenge of solving Lord Edgware's murder. The suspects are many, each with compelling motives, but it is the twist of mistaken identities that drives the plot. Poirot's deductions lead to an ingenious resolution, though the journey there may not be Christie's best work. The narrative lacks the tightness of her standout novels, and some twists are less than surprising. For Christie aficionados, it's an agreeable read but might not stand out in her impressive repertoire. 3/5 stars for its middle-of-the-road intrigue and clever, though not her most striking, conclusion.
