Die Monogramm-Morde

When I bought this book I was sceptical at first, because I couldn't imagine anyone really imitating Agatha Christie's style, and doing the portrayal of a very unique and eccentric Poirot justice. But I was truly pleasantly surprised! Not only did the author really capture the essence of a classic Poirot murder mystery, but she also wrote the characters in a way which was more than reminiscent of Christie's style. If I hadn't known that this was a different author, I wouldn't have guessed at all. And the mystery itself is really fun as well! Catchpool is a fun and quirky side-kick, and I loved his interactions with Poirot. I also really liked the setting of a hotel in central London, it gave the story a lot of flair. The famous Poirot monologue is a bit long in this book tbh, but it was still fun to see how everything came together in the end. I will definitely read more from this author!

Ein interessanter, aber unaufgeregter Krimi. Die Story plätschert so dahin, ist wie gewohnt ein bisschen verzwickt, sodass ich mir manchmal mir gerne Stift und Zettel gewünscht wann, wie, was passiert war. Poirot und Catchpool geben ein liebendswürdiges Detektiv-Dou, besonders wenn Poirot bei Catchpool Fragezeichen hinterlässt.
