The second part is where he enters and begins the investigation. I loved how the book started off! The book is divided into two parts – one where the background of the story is set and all the characters described, along with the events. Poirot is called in for his services and that, ladies and gentlemen, clears all the cobwebs away in this strange and confusing case. The family’s queerness doesn’t go unnoticed with a few others too but when the much hated mother is murdered, they find themselves at the centre of it all. But what is strange is that her adult sons and daughters follow her like meek sheep. A medical student, Sarah King, is on holiday at the said location where she meets an American family. Of course, he doesn’t take them seriously. “You do see, don’t you, that she’s got to be killed?” is how the book begins! Poirot is in Jerusalem and he overhears these words from his window one night. I tend to do that when excited! So, without further ado, let’s get on with the review. I have managed a small collection of her books and can just keep on re-reading them forever! Yeah, I’m crazy like that! Since, Appointment With Death is declared as the book of the month by the official Agatha Christie website, I decided to do a review. For those of you who don’t know, I am a huge fan of the ‘Queen of Crime’ and have been reading her books since childhood. Publisher: Harper Collins (Facsimile Edition)Īppointment With Death by Agatha Christie is one of the many that I have re-read.
