This is a very slow-moving book. Parts of the plot and some of the things Hercule Poirot does are quite confusing. Overall an interesting book although not very exciting. It pieces itself together in the very last chapter. Julie C.
Rating: ***

This was a very good murder mystery. It is one where it makes you think one person did it, then you think another has, so you jump from character to character. Good for a dark and stormy night! Mary A.

Good book but it can be hard to follow if you don't pay close attention to the order of things. Even if you don't like mysteries much (I don't) it is a good book to start with. Cristina R.
Rating: ****

This book is kind of hard to understand and a little boring in the beginning. Hang in there. It gets way better and has a surprise ending. You'll never guess who did it. Serena C.

Dead Man's Folly

A great murder mystery with a very unexpected ending. John S.
Rating: ***


Death Man's Mirror

This was an exciting book and a good mystery. I recommend it. Ashley W.
Rating: ****


Death on the Nile

This wasn't one of Christie's best novels. She explains everything so you could understand it, but it wasn't exciting and I knew how the story would end after the first chapter. I think what makes a lot of her stories so good is her detective Hercule Poirot. He is so funny at times. Melisa C.
Rating: *

If you like mysteries and like exotic characters read this book. Amy D.
Rating: ****


Elephants Can Remember

This mystery features Hercule Poirot, Christie's popular Belgian detective. The plot moves very slowly and was told by an acquaintance of Poirot who was very dull. Easy to figure out and has little suspense. Patrick W.
Rating: **


The Hollow

VERY EXCITING! This was the first Agatha Christie novel I couldn't guess the ending to. When I say exciting I mean that it has an exciting plot, but moves rather slow. Melisa C.
Rating: ***


The Mirror Crack'd

It was a very good mystery if you like a mystery with no blood or guts, but a suspenseful plot. I really enjoyed it! Katherine D.
