Hallowe'en Party: Inspiration for the 20th Century Studios Major Motion Picture A Haunting in Venice

I read this book for the first time many years ago and decided to re-read it as part of a Halloween reading challenge. I have to admit, I love Agatha Christie and am a huge Poirot fan, but was a little disappointed in this one. It was one of her later works and just didn't have the same feel as the earlier Poirot books, which I still enjoy immensely.

Never will I look at apples the same way again. Agatha Christie sure thinks outside the box, or in this case, outside the Hallowe'en Party. With twists in the novel that you wouldn't even think are correlated with the murder at the Hallowe'en Party, Hercule Poirot does it again! Agatha Christie is a well deserved classic and everyone should read at least one of her books!

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.
