The world’s greatest detective, Hercule Poirot – legendary star of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile and A Haunting in Venice – puts his little grey cells to work solving a baffling Christmas mystery.

I think I'll just stick with actual Christie novels. This felt very basic.

First off : thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to receive this ARC ebook.

This is the first book of this series that I was able to read as I did not have any prior knowledge or experience of this author.

This was a nice intriguing mystery book. From the beginning I was already guessing and trying to see who it could have been. I had quite a lot of fun of trying to guess who it was and creating theories in my head. I totally felt super involved in the novel which I always really like. Overall I may actually check out the other books once I have time.

Great rendition!

I received this book through NetGalley. It does not influence my review.
Before I start there’s two things you should know about me. 1. I LOVE Christmas and 2. I adore everything Agatha Christ.
So you see this book was basically MADE for me.
Sophie Hannah did a great job at recreating Hercule Poirot. But it just doesn’t quite have the Agatha Christie feel about it.
To me it’s very much a comfort read and the Christmas setting is giving it a bit of a cozy vibe.
All in all a good starter murder mystery

This was an intriguing mystery and had me guessing from the start. I think Sophie Hannah does a good job of recreating Poirot in a way consistent with Agatha Christie's original character. This had a great cast of dubious characters to choose from, and the setting also added to the overall ambience of a slightly creepy Christmas party in a house destined to slide into the sea. I would recommend this for readers who like a traditional cozy mystery in the style of Christie.
