Cat Among the Pigeons by Agatha Christie

3.0

A hugely readable mixture of domestic murder mystery and international thriller with a solution that reflects both situations. In this unmasking of two completely different killers and many murders, it's a very unique Christie! Although a wee-bit far-fetched the plot is very satisfying - even if I would have rather seen Miss Marple take this case on, but apparently the several novels prior to this were Miss Marple mysteries so Christie didn't want to deprive the public of Poirot (who is more adept at the international aspects of this novel than Miss Marple would be). Perhaps that is why the female characters are so wonderfully seen and the men are all peripheral (even Poirot - even thought he would totally disagree). 3.5/5 stars!
