Halloween Party – Agatha Christie (1969)

Halloween Party by Agatha Christie

January 19, 2021 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

A late, almost very late Hercule Poirot novel (the 39th! according to Goodreads) and while I don’t think the material is wearing down just yet, in that way that Agatha Christie’s last novels did, it raises some interesting questions. For one, while Halloween, like the other holidays are a part of our lives, they have this way of feeling in literature, and especially in movies, and ESPECIALLY in television of being part of a gimmicky holiday special kind of thing.

It’s All So Familiar

March 9, 2014 by TyburnBlossom Leave a Comment

Eight books in and the plots are already being recycled. 44 more books to go. Yay for me. The similarities between The New Girl and Halloween Party are greater than having a male POV character. Lisa even makes an appearance. I’m pretty sure she should have graduated by now, but she’s also still dating Cory, so I don’t know what to do with her. There’s no use trying to keep a timeline going. There’s no introductory narration from a murderer, but there is a new […]
