jonn reviewed Killings at Kingfisher Hill by Agatha Christie
What I liked about this one is that we are presented with the scope of the case ealy on in the story.
4 stars
As opposed to Horowitz's works, which are — I'm sorry to say — quite superior to Hannah's (and I secretly wish he would have been the author of new Poirot mysteries, given his stellar work at ITV's Poirot adaptations), Sophie Hannah normally sandbags a lot of facts.
Rather than progressive increase of the story fidelity like in Horowitz's books, Hannah's takes the approach of progressive reveal. Which works alright, but I normally don't even start thinking about who have done it until two thirds into her books.
This story, however, allows us to start thinking early and the outcome of such thinking is of the most satisfying nature.
