Should a mystery story be solvable by its audience? That’s a philosophical question, and I suspect perhaps a matter of personal taste. Do we prefer tales where we are expected to simply observe as a detective protagonist investigates and unravels the puzzle, or those where we’re able and encouraged by the narrative to figure things out alongside them?

I fall firmly into the latter camp myself, and that’s what makes a title like this one (also published as Murder for Christmas and A Holiday for Murder) less satisfying for me. The ultimate solution is not too implausible, and in fact I applaud author Agatha Christie for the somewhat postmodern twist of a reasonable culprit who’s nevertheless outside the apparent group of automatic suspects. But the deductive reasoning that leads Poirot to that conclusion is heavily based on family resemblance between certain people, which we obviously don’t have access to as readers. This is not the writer’s most engaging cast of characters either, nor a particularly distinctive use of the festive yuletide setting. Overall it just feels like a wasted opportunity throughout.
