The idea of killing a child - and killing her in such a way! - gave me the creeps, and the reactions of people to this death were quite horrible - her younger brother shrugs his shoulders and says something like: "Oh, well, who cares", and other people were no better, joyfully claiming that the dead girl was a lier and that they never liked her. That would be enough for me to have a problem with this book, but it was also boring and repetitive, and I was quite relieved when I finished reading it. I didn't enjoy this book. ( ) A thirteen-year-old girl, Joyce Reynolds, is murdered at a Halloween party, drowned in the tub where the partygoers had earlier bobbed for apples, and Hercule Poirot is called in by his friend, crime novelist Ariadne Oliver, who was a guest in the home where the murder occurred. Hours before the party, Joyce made a pronouncement that she had once witnessed a murder; however, all the individuals Poirot interviewed unanimously dismissed her as the teller of tall tales, casting doubt on that revelation as a motive. Despite rather flat characters and snails’ pace plot, I enjoyed the complicated unraveling of the mysterious deaths related to Joyce’s. Not my favorite Christie work. The newest Poirot movie was based on this, but very little of the story remained the same. This one didn't hold my attention like others in the series. A young girls is killed after claiming to have witnessed a murder, but everyone says she was a compulsive liar. Poirot works with a famous author to try to solve the case. Not a bad mystery, just missing some of the urgency in Christie's others. One of her later novels (published in 1969), Christie hauls out Poirot from her bookcase of detectives to solve the mystery of 13-year-old Joyce's death, an annoying girl who is drowned in a bucket while bobbing for apples at a Halloween Party. Even Poirot seems a bit hackneyed on this job. A semi-enjoyable and fast read, but not one of Christie's best. The ending also was too abrupt, like she was hurrying to meet a deadline. A low pick. 3.5/5. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
