Hercule Poirot's Christmas - Agatha Christie ... striking new cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers. It is Christmas Eve. The Lee family reunion is shattered by a deafening crash of furniture, followed by a high-pitched wailing scream. Upstairs, the tyrannical Simeon Lee lies dead in a pool of blood, his throat slashed. But when Hercule Poirot, who is staying in the village with a friend for Christmas, offers to assist, he finds an atmosphere not of mourning but of mutual suspicion. It seems everyone had their own reason to hate the old man!

Strong parallels can thus be drawn between this narrative and other works, most noticeably "A Pocketful of Rye" which bears what must surely be a deliberate resemblance in many parts. Comparisons can also be made between "Hercule Poirot's Christmas" and "The 4.50 from Paddington", though he...more

Rating:

Proud, unrepentant of former ill deeds and with a truly wicked sense of humour, elderly Simeon Lee saw no reason to suspect that this Christmas would not be enjoyable - for himself at any rate.

Thriller, quite literally Not for young kids (not really a disdvantage)

The best start to a Grisham book I have read A few of the twists can seem to be a little far fetched

An entertaining read, Deals well with the racial issues If your not a fan of Grisham you probably wont enjoy it


Good collection stories, enough details despite short length. Most not very original

Interesting story, can be placed in several points in time Some plot holes.
