In Hercule Poirot's Christmas, the holidays are anything but merry when a family reunion is marred by murder — and the notoriously fastidious investigator is quickly on the case.

Rezension von LucyI read Hercule Poirot’s Christmas in a single day because I just couldn’t put it down. It’s perfect for the season and gives a strong Christmas vibe right from the start. At the same time, you immediately sense that something’s not right, and you can tell early on that this family is far from harmonious. I especially loved the atmosphere. The English country house is described in such detail that I could picture everything perfectly, and it has exactly that slightly dark English vibe I love. Watching the characters and seeing how differently they behave, and how it gradually becomes clear that many of them are just after the money, was fascinating. The story is incredibly gripping, and I did not see the plot twist coming at all. Definitely five stars.
Rezension von Fanni DunaiNem a legelmesebb regenye Agathanak, de megis olyan fordulat volt benne amire nem szamitottam, hiaba vagyok mar gyakorlott Christie olvaso! A Lee csalad karacsonyi osszejovetelet mutatja be es a csaladfo gyilkossagabak kinyomozasa zajlik. Vajon a csiszolatlan gyemantokert vagta el a torkat valaki hidegverrel, vagy a zabolazatlan modora miatt? Esetleg sajat gyermekei kozul egy tervelte ki a gyilkossagot a vagyonert, vagy hogy ne irhasson uj vegrendeletet? Vagy a hirtelen megjelent idegen a ferfi egy regi ismerosenek fia akar valami miatt bosszut allni? Vagy egy szem lanyunokaja aki Spanyolorszagbol utazott idaig? Egyik sem! Ugyanis barmily hihetetlen a rendorfonok a gyilkos, aki a csaladfo egyik fattya, es akivel sosem talalkozott ezidaig, es aki hosszu evekig vart hogy megbosszulhassa apjanak hogy az magara hagyta, es megalazta az anyjat! A tobbi csak korites volt!
