The one thing I didn't really enjoy about the book was the intermittent references to the relaxed nature of the criminal justice system (it was written shortly after the abolishment of capital punishment) and criminals being sent to psychological institutions rather than prisons. Mystery writer Ariadne Oliver is at a children's Halloween party where rather unpopular girl named Joyce boasts that she once witnessed a murder. Admittedly I didn't read it until after I had watched the recent ITV adaption, which stuck pretty true to the book, but I still found the book really enjoyable.

'I haven't read many of Christie's books so I was a little thrown by references to past cases ( The Labours of Hercules and Mrs McGinty's Dead in particular) but these weren't too prominent nor did they give spoilers. Some of the descriptions of what the teenage boys wear are particularly amusing 'a rose-coloured velvet coat, mauve trousers and a kind of frilled shirting.

When no one believes her she storms out of the party in a temper, but then her body is discovered a few hours later drowned in an apple bobbing tub. Ariadne calls in her dear friend Hercule Poirot who leaps at the chance to investigate the crime that could be a murder, or a double murder. Ariadne is my favourite character from the book. Oh, and the reviewer that says the book comes in at a little over 200 pages must have a different edition to me - mine is 336 pages.

It doesn't detract from the book, but it is a recurring theme that most of the characters express an opinion on at some point. Agatha Christie never disappoints, I really like this cover also, a perfect Halloween read.

It is very good product nice delivery and at a cheap rate Plot: 10/10Characters: 10/10Ending: 10/10Enjoyment: 8/10Cover: 10/10Overall: 48/50
She teases Poirot continually and makes some great sarcastic comments (the title of my review being one of them). The plot was well thought-out and full of twists and turns. As a fan of both Halloween and mysteries I grabbed a copy of this last month in hopes of a seasonal read and was not disappointed.
There are two returning characters: Superintendent Spence and Ariadne Oliver. The media could not be loaded.
