A review by thereadingrunnner
The Killings at Kingfisher Hill: The New Hercule Poirot Mystery by Sophie Hannah
3.0
I received a copy of this book in a Goodreads giveaway in exchange for my honest review.
While not a reader of Agatha Christie and therefore nothing to base a comparison on, I found this to be a comical and entertaining read. I can't say it was necessarily the best plotted storyline and some of the leaps to specific conclusions by Poirot I found to be a bit far fetched at how he got there, but entertaining nonetheless.
There were a lot of characters and to me it felt like the classic kind of "Clue" type whodunnit... where/when/why and with what, but some of the lesser characters were a little hard for me to keep straight. There are a few points to the overall story which I still don't quite understand and about halfway through I thought things got extremely repetitive, hence the 3 star rating. But for me, this was a good break from my norm and makes me want to pick up an Agatha Christie original.
