A Halloween party becomes a murder investigation

The Halloween setting is integral to the mystery: a girl’s claim that she once witnessed a murder is dismissed, then her death turns the party into a crime scene. Hercule Poirot must determine whether the case is connected to her boast and whether he is pursuing one killer or more. The setup brings together a closed social occasion, a disputed account, and the problem of separating rumor from evidence. This edition is identified as the source inspiration for the film *A Haunting in Venice*.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers who enjoy traditional detective fiction and Hercule Poirot mysteries
  • Those interested in mysteries built around a Halloween gathering and a murder investigation
  • Readers curious about the source novel for *A Haunting in Venice*

Book overview

Enjoy Agatha Christie's beloved classic, Hallowe'en Party--the inspiration for the major motion picture A Haunting in Venice, directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh--featuring an introduction by Michael Green, screenwriter of the film. Now with a beautiful new series look!

When a Hallowe'en party turns deadly, it falls to Hercule Poirot to unmask a murderer.

At a Hallowe'en party, Joyce--a surly thirteen-year-old--boasts that she once witnessed a murder. When no one believes her, she storms off. But within hours her body is found, still in the house, drowned in an apple-bobbing tub.

Famed detective Hercule Poirot is called in to investigate. Set against a night of trickery and the occult, it's up to Poirot to uncover the real evil presence responsible for this ghastly deed.
