Rendition During Books Herança Fatal (New Hercule Poirot Mysteries #2)
Hercule Poirot é convidado a passar uma temporada no campo. A anfitriã é a famosa escritora Athelinda Playford, que recebe na sua mansão isolada um improvável grupo de pessoas. Entre elas, Poirot encontra o amigo Edward Catchpool, inspetor da Scotland Yard. Athelinda prometera diversão, mas o ambiente é tenso. O mordomo tem um comportamento (no mínimo) bizarro. A filha, a bela e impertinente Claudia, distribui o seu rancor pela mãe, o irmão e (aparentemente) o mundo inteiro. Os restantes convidados não parecem ter nada em comum. E será a própria Athelinda a deitar mais achas para a fogueira ao anunciar uma alteração de última hora ao seu testamento. O seu plano consiste em deserdar os filhos e legar a fortuna a alguém que morrerá muito em breve.Qual o motivo por detrás desta súbita e estranha decisão? Poirot não deixa de pensar que tudo não passa de uma provocação. E quando, inevitavelmente, é cometido um crime, cabe-lhe a ele assumir o comando… pois todos naquela casa escondem segredos que apenas as celulazinhas cinzentas de Poirot conseguirão desvendar…

Not as bad as the first book - I think Sophie Hannah has already had some better grasps on how to write a Poirot story. True, there are some parts that are still meh and so unPoirot. Also, the way the mystery unraveled is also still a bit stiff, not flowing smoothly in my opinion. And I don't understand why Hannah still insisted on using Catchpool as her narrator - he is definitely a weaker version of Hastings haha. I wish she could just write the story in a third person point of view, withSo I read an article recently; about why the estates of famous writers, tend to suddenly allow a "new" book to come out so many years after the originals. It's all about copyright. See, the copyright on some of Christie's earlier books are soon to expire. However, if they commission a new book, they can retain the copyright to the characters. I have very mixed feelings about this, especially when I think about all the awesome things that wouldn't exist if the copyright hadn't expired. Like
Pretty dire stuff. I was hoping for better given the reviews. Nothing would induce me to read another of these pseudo-Poirots.

Closed Casket Hercule Poirot ReturnsSophie Hannah has risen to the challenge to become the voice and mind of Hercule Poirot and mimic everything that the Grand Dame of Crime Fiction created. Hannah has picked up where Agatha Christie left off and it is impossible to notice that Poirot came to life over 100 years before, this is a seamless addition to the Christie canon.Hercule Poirot has been invited over to the newly independent Ireland, as the guest of aristocratic author Lady Playford to her
I received this book courtesy of a Goodreads giveaway. Closed Casket has most of the mystery cliches:1. Like "Clue", all of the suspects staying in the same house and sorting out who was where during the murder; I halfway expected to read about Colonel Mustard and a pipe wrench.2. A semi-clueless sidekick in Catchpool 3. A moron serving as the lead homicide detective 4. Poirot's big reveal at the end with all of the suspects gathered in one room5. Confession by the suspect once truth is revealed
I would not have intentionally selected this book as I still have many Agatha books to read and would rather read the real thing......but my fab brother bought it for me for Christmas knowing I love Poirot and probably didn't realise it was written by somebody else (check out the cover!).I liked it - the story was a bit odd and a little stilted in places but I still enjoyed the mystery and the rambunctious and frankly rude characters were amusing.Poirot was not quite himself! But it didn't spoil
Love a good whodunnit with Poirot. A fun listen and great story. I really should go back and read some of the older Christie books....one day!!
