Very enjoyable Poirot with some humorous observations and a final unmasking of the killer most won’t see coming unless they already know who did it.

Poirot continues to be hit or miss for me. Think if I'd read this before watching the episode the identity of the murderer might have surprised me but as is I just found it okay.

I appreciate the mystery of Agatha's books and have read many, trying to ignore the blatant bigotry of all forms that's present in her writing. This book was too much for me, I can't enjoy a story when half the time she's using racial slurs and talking about how stupid women are.

Dari 4 buku Agatha Christie yang aku baca sejauh ini di tahun 2021, sepertinya Saksi Bisu adalah favoritku.
Buku ini menjadi bacaan favorit karena gaya kasus/alur penyelidikannya agak beda dari yang lain. Tidak hanya Poirot, kita juga akan bertemu Hastings. Alur bukunya juga cepat. Aku awalnya skeptis karena konflik dalam cerita muncul karena huru-hara harta warisan. Ternyata konfliknya tidak serumit yang aku bayangkan untuk diikuti. Twist di akhir buku juga tidak terduga.
Kalau tidak ada casual racism & stereotyping, aku boleh jadi akan memberi Saksi Bisu rating lebih tinggi.
