The Killings at Kingfisher Hill: The New Hercule Poirot Mystery by Sophie Hannah
4.0
The storyline of this book is a wonderful take, a reimagining of a classic Agatha Christie plot. The “Mysterious Affair at Styles” and her second attempt with this plot device, “The Hollow” …….
I did not enjoy reading Styles and I really REALLY disliked Hollow. They were both completely dissatisfying to me.
However, this time around I loved the plot gimmick. Perhaps because I could guess where it was going and because I know “The Hollow” is Hannah’s favorite Poirot.
But, either way this book is a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the characters and all the red herrings. It’s very enjoyable without feeling like it needs to “cut to the chase”….no fillers or artificial plot points.
