Alice in Waterdeep
I kind of disliked this one. This was my return to Agatha Christie after at least five or six years and it wasn't as glorious as I thought it would be.
I found most characters to be uninteresting and annoying, and I didn't really care what happened to them. When my beloved Poirot showed up I thought here we go, but no. He was barely even around! We didn't get to see him investigate or interview the suspects all that much. I was waiting for his solution to the mystery to raise my rating of the book last minute, but... it did not happen. We didn't even see Poirot solve the mystery. The revelation, if it can even be called that, happened so quickly and felt so shallow. Not a fan :(
