A review by reader_
Dead Man's Folly by Agatha Christie

3.0

Mrs Oliver is organising a murder hunt game at one if the vilage fetes and feels something is wrong, that some forces behind the scenes are at work. She calls Poirot and while he is there an actual.murder takes place, fillowed by the disappearance of the lady of the house. The rest of the book is about the solving of this mystery by Poirot.

is one of the weaker Agatha Christie books, despite the fact that Poirot makes a very early appearance. And even the presence of Ariadne Oliver fails to rise this book beyond three stars. Rarely do i feel bored while reading Christie's books but i had to force myself to complete this one.

Definitely not the best place to start Christie.
