Book Review of Black Coffee (Hercule Poirot)

Black Coffee (Hercule Poirot)
wild-one avatar reviewed on + 8 more book reviews


Originally written as a stage play it amazes me how well Black Coffee has been adapted as a novel in which Hercule Poirot retains his personality as Christies most famous and beloved detective. The story takes place in the spring of 1934 when Poirot is urgently invited to the home of Sir Claud Armory. With a limited number of players it seems it would be easy for the reader to determine the outcome, but you will not be disappointed in this one. Agatha Christie has a special knack for keeping the reader guessing right to the end.
