Sad Cypress by Agatha Christie - Good
While I was struggling to read Doughnut, I put it to oneside and read a quick Agatha Christie to keep me going.
This is one that I have seen on TV but didn't remember too much about. It starts as Elinor Carlisle is in the dock accused of murdering a young woman who had helped nurse her aunt and had stolen the heart of Elinor's intended. Poirot is in court and has been asked by a friend to investigate... and so we return to the start of the story from Elinor's perspective.
The usual interesting twists and turns that you get from an Agatha Christie, all the more enjoyable as I couldn't remember exactly how it would end.

Picked up at the meetup. Thank you!
A mid-level Agatha Christie novel in my opinion. Easy to read, and fun to follow. I'm always in awe of how well Christie was able to play around with her standard plot format to produce the same sort of structure in so many different ways. In this case, we start with a person accused of murder based on extensive but largely circumstantial evidence. Poirot is hired to try and prove that she's innocent, yet most leads that he uncovers seem to point right back to her guilt. I for one was genuinely flummoxed about how this would turn out. The final twist involves science that I'm a bit sceptical of, but I guess Christie knew what she was doing regarding poisons so there must be something in it.
