A Halloween party becomes a Poirot case

First published as *Hallowe’en Party*, this Hercule Poirot mystery begins with a child’s unsettling claim: Joyce says she once witnessed a murder. After she is found dead at the Halloween gathering, Poirot investigates what happened and whether her story holds a clue. The party’s games and occult atmosphere frame a traditional detection puzzle, while this movie-tie-in edition connects Christie’s novel with the film *A Haunting in Venice*. It also includes a new introduction by the film’s screenwriter, Michael Green.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Agatha Christie readers interested in Hercule Poirot mysteries

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--with a new introduction by Michael Green, screenwriter of the film.

When a Halloween party turns deadly, it falls to Hercule Poirot to unmask a murderer.

At a Halloween party, Joyce--a surly thirteen-year-old--boasts that she once witnessed a murder. When no one believes her, she storms off home. 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.

    A great read for spooky-season nightsA perfect addition to any Halloween reading list
