Hercule Poirot’s Christmas by Agatha Christie

It could be said that I'm binge reading #AgathaChristie. Because I finished reading one yesterday and started another today. This hardcover is another of my second hand bookstore finds. The previous one was Miss Marple and this is Hercule Peroit. On to some much needed mind activity. Have you read it? What do you think? But please no spoilers. #Bookgram #Bookstagram #igreads #igreadspk #BookstagramPk #BookgramPk #HerculePeroit #Hardcover #HerculePeroitsChristmas #ForTheLoveOfMysteries #ReadersInKarachi #ReadersInPakistan #GirlWhoReads #HinaLovesToRead

On the night before Christmas, cruel, tyrannical, filthy rich Simeon Lee is found in his locked bedroom with his throat cut. Now Hercule Poirot must put his detective powers to the test to solve one of his most chilling cases – and to prevent a clever killer from spilling more blood.

#CurrentlyReading #HerculePeroitsChristmas and enjoying it immensely. I think I have decoded who the murderer is based on what's been given out till yet. But it being Christie I have a feeling that I might turn out to be wrong. I may change my opinion once more is revealed. Loving it thus far. #Bookgram #Bookstagram #igreads #igreadspk #BookstagramPk #BookgramPk #Reading #ReadingOutLoud #SnapchatFilters #AgathaChristie #HerculePeroit #MurderMystery

Review

Where do I begin? I loved it!

This was my first Hercule Poirot and he made me fall in love with him. The way he went about probing into the little things that related to the murder left me in awe.

As I went through the events that happened, I was on the look out of the little details that I may have missed if I was not vigilant and started making a case against the people I thought could be the murderer.

At one point I was completely sure who it will turn out to be and I could have bet on it but deep down I had this teeny tiny feeling that I was wrong. With only a couple of pages left, the murderer was revealed and I was like, “What just happened there? I never could have pegged this person as the murderer!”

I have tried to keep this spoiler free and go to such lengths so as not to revel even the gender of the culprit.

One thing that I will give, is, this is one of those books that I would call A MUST READ!

"God rot his soul in hell! I'm glad I did it!" Just a couple of pages more and I'd be done with the book but the cat is out of the bag with the dialogue above. To make the picture and my post spoiler free, I've used the dust jacket so as not to give out the name of the murderer. One thing that I must state is that there was more than one person that I suspected of committing the murder but none of them turned out to be a murderer though one character's story did turn out to be what I believed and I'm patting myself on the back for that. For all of Christie fans who haven't read this one or murder mystery fans out there, I'd give this one five stars and recommend it without hesitation. This is one of those books that I call A MUST READ! The full review to follow on my blog soon. #Bookgram #Bookstagram #igreads #igreadspk #BookstagramPk #BookgramPk #AgathaChristie #HerculePeroitsChristmas #HerculePeroit #MurderMystery #MustRead #CurrentlyReading #GirlWhoReads #HinaLovesToRead
