Having read only a few original Poirot mysteries, I am not qualified to comment on the authenticity of this novel other than to say that the language, the descriptions and the scenarios of this one felt quite similar to those of the original ones I have read. The plot is quite complex and the reader has to pay a lot of attention in order to keep track of the multiple characters, each of whom has his / her own secrets and quirks. The author has built up the mystery cleverly, making it difficult for the reader to work it out. The interactions between Poirot and Catchpool are highly amusing, and Poirot's treatment at the hands of the old lady, Hester Semley, is just hilarious.
Just like a few of Christie's mysteries, the process of deduction by the great Poirot feels a bit too sophisticated in this novel too. The motives for the murders, and the reasons for the way they are carried out, are not as grave and convincing as I would have liked. However, The Killings at Kingfisher Hill, with its charming prose and the beloved Poirot at the helm, is sure to entertain the fans of the golden age mysteries, and I would rate it 3.5 stars out of 5.
My thanks to the author and the publisher of this book, and netgalley.com, for the ARC in exchange for my unbiased review.… (plus d'informations)
