Book Review: Taken by the Flood - Agatha Christie

 

Another story where Poirot is absent for 60% of the novel. Not that good of a story to be honest. Nothing to say. The story revolves around several family members trying to get into a family inheritance after their benefactor died and his young wife inheritance everything.

With an assassination of a person who says he knows everything - not once but twice. There isn't anything moments and sincerely I would say this was one of the worst books by Christie.

I've said it before and I will say it again... Agatha Christie reasoning of not putting Poirot in the front row it's very upsetting. I know she later on didn't seem to enjoy writing books about Poirot - so it's a bit weird she still did it. Maybe for the money?

Oh well, only 10 or so books about Poirot.
