The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding
by Agatha Christie
This was a one-off version of this Hercule Poirot short story, not a part of a larger novel-length collection.
I had seen the dramatization of this story starring my favorite Poirot ever, David Suchet, so I knew what was going to happen as I read it, but it was still fun to read the original story. I can report the adaptation was mostly faithful to the story as written, which is always nice when you are reading something after you have seen the dramatization.
It was a quick mystery, that does not actually involve a murder, so it’s a fun, non-violent read. It would be perfect for a waiting room or an airport departure lounge; the kind of story it’s easy enough to get lost in, but not so long that you’ll miss hearing your name/flight called.
Hercule Poirot is always a good read and this one is no different.
One Bear’s Opinion: Five cups of tea with a hearty serving of Christmas pudding, without the ruby
Happy Reading Everyone,
Oliver
