Best Hercule Poirot Tales
The best mystery I have ever read and one of the few books that were hyped a lot (to me) and surpassed the hype! This is the magnum opus of Agatha Christie. If you are going to read only one mystery book in your life, this should be the one. Simply amazing.
Simply brilliant! An incredible twist at the end keeps the readers guessing until the last page. Mind-blowing - the best Christie book ever!
I've always wanted to read a book like this, but the chance of actually finding one and being ignorant of the ending is so low! This book blew my mind.
I absolutely love this book! The amount of thought that Agatha Christie put into all the details that go into the ending is amazing. I've read it and reread it many times, and each time I seem to notice another little hint that I missed the last time through.
Awesome book. The ending is so shocking. It is a perfect combination of mystery and thrill. I love this book. It's great. No doubt that Agatha Christie is one of the greatest writers on this earth.
Unthinkable ending! This is rather an unusual murder mystery. Read a few others before you read this one, because this one is truly a revelation in the history of murder mysteries!
Fabulous characters, fast-paced, historic setting, and lots and lots of blood! Read it and see it. The film adaptations of this novel are all good.
Superb! One of Mrs. Christie's most astounding achievements! Not a single page goes by without you being a little confused, but thrilled at the same time!
Fantastic! The best mystery of all. Very cleverly written and described.
Pure genius. The red herrings Christie throws around in the novel are absolutely thrilling.
Unpredictable and intelligent, very different from the other Poirot novels.
I just love this book! The characters are so well described. The whole plot, where Caroline Crale does not protest her innocence except in a letter to her daughter, is so interesting. And, of course, to find out the truth after all these years is fascinating. Elsa Green's eyes having a strange look captured in Amyas's painting - there are a lot of things to love in this book. Also, the events are retold several times, but only Poirot understands what they really mean and puts them all together!
All of Agatha Christie's stories are phenomenal. However, Five Little Pigs has always grabbed me from the start. I think that along with Sad Cypress and Hercule Poirot's Christmas, Five Little Pigs is up there as one of the best.
The conclusion is shocking, and the entire deduction is far better than Sherlock Holmes.
The best Agatha Christie book ever. 100 times better than The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.
One of the most unexpected twists ever!
This book shows the greatest difference between Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. While the former depends on evidence and deduction based on evidence more than psychology, Poirot deals with human psychology more than anything else. This is a hallmark of that element of his character.
Rediscovered this as a book club book. The psychological elements will stir great discussion.
Of course, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is the best, but this book is also great. In the end, you can never guess who the murderer is.
Surprise ending that you can enjoy looking back to see how Poirot put the pieces together.
Great plot, lovely setting, and a surprising revelation!
Genius. In my opinion, this is the best Poirot book. Yes, better than Roger Ackroyd, better than Orient Express. No other book like it.
Poirot's best novel. Slightly darker than usual, with very interesting characterizations.
Pleasant setting, surprising ending.
I know it is not a typical whodunit and is different from all her other books, but this was my first Christie, and I fell totally in love with Poirot. The little plots were amazing!
Easily one of my favorite Poirot stories! I don't care if he is going James Bond. It is AMAZING!
This is such an awesome novel with so many teasing storylines. The result was kept silent until the very end.
This is really the best book ever! Such an awesome story!
I loved this one. Poor Emily might have lived if only her letter had reached Poirot. Bob the dog is great too.
The characters are so interesting and complex that Christie doesn't need to resort to a gimmick to make the ending satisfying. The main themes are subtle, unexplored, and controversial. This was the first of its kind.
I loved this book. There are a lot of great ones, but this tops the list for me.
The first part of the novel is slower, but the end is phenomenal and makes perfect sense of the motive.
Although it has a slow start, the ending is totally worth it!
While on an archaeological dig in Syria (1937), Lady Boynton appears to have been stabbed to death. Luckily, Hercule Poirot is at the dig as well and is quick on the case.
While Poirot is staying at the school of a friend, a murder occurs, and it seems Princess Shaista, who has been attending the school, has been kidnapped.
Why isn't this higher? This one had perhaps my favorite characters. And the ending is great!
Hercule Poirot is called to investigate the drowning of a child at a Halloween party.
Not every mystery has to be a grand adventure. Let's relax with a story by the fire...
