The next read is The Hound of Death, a compilations of short stories with, what sounds like, a rather ghostly appeal. How on earth anyone could have approved a cover like that is mind-blowing!! Two murders were by stabbing and a third by poisoning. NO ONE in the novel was murdered by a gunshot. I included the bookcover at the beginning of the review as a startling example of lack of attention to detail, basically an alarming mistake. The mystery itself was quite well-plotted but, again, left me feeling rather flat. I suspect that the film stars appear more like caricatures, rather than real people, so the effect of their experiences is diminished within the scope of the story. Partly, I didn’t enjoy the characters, which I tend to experience whenever a writer goes off into the world of entertainment. With Captain Hastings and Inspector Japp alongside, Poirot employs his little grey cells along the logical journey to unmask a rather cold-blooded killer with devious intentions.Īdmittedly, this is not my favourite Poirot and I’m not quite sure why. Another suicide muddies the investigative waters but Poirot is up to the task.
