Anyway, in this novel, a fun Halloween party ends in tragedy. Young Joyce has been drowned in the apple dunking trough. Earlier in the day, she was boasting about witnessing a murder. Poirot's friend, the quirky Mrs. Oliver, thinks there's something more sinister than the police suspect and asks Poirot for his unusual ways of discovering the truth.
Possible suspects are everywhere, and every character I read seemed to have their own suspicions about what happened. One thing's for sure: Joyce wasn't really a very nice young lady and was known as a liar. Even though she claims to have seen a murder, no one really believes she was telling the truth, so who would possibly kill her?
I liked this one a lot. I had seen the show, but I didn't remember the whole solution to the murder, so I was fine reading through it. I liked reading the personalities of different characters, and I'm a sucker for Hercule and his mustaches! Good Book!
