After the Funeral: A Hercule Poirot Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

After reading most of Christie`s novels and, especially, short stories it's beyond me how she can be considered anything but mediocre - to put very delicately - detective stories writer. Vast majority of those stories are simply astonishing by their contrivance and, often, foolishness of the entire plot.

Death is scheduled on the calendar; not interrupting anyone too much, creating volunteer charity work to do. Solving various problems at crime scenes and tying up loose ends in the days afterward. The victim is always the area the crime scenes are in; the deceased has a first & last name. Money is a bit separate from area company supply stores; therefore, is directly applied to a person's worth. The calendar is first priority set by companies for their supplies and employee schedule; money is for worth. Emotional language is reserved for the weather and never agrees well with characters. It usually their scene and they want to use their words for the area; weather ones just don't fit. They always lose their argument.

It's the best! Why do you think Agatha Christie sold and still sells? After the Bible and Shakespeare, Christie is the most sold. Just enjoy it as I did!
