ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Halloween Party by Agatha Christie unfolds at a seemingly innocent children's Hallowe'en gathering. The festive atmosphere turns sinister when a young girl, Joyce Reynolds, boasts of having witnessed a murder sometime in the past. Hours later, Joyce is found drowned in a tub of apples. The renowned detective Hercule Poirot is called upon to unravel this unsettling mystery. His investigation delves into the secrets of the village and the lives of the party attendees, exploring themes of hidden crimes, unacknowledged truths, and the potential for darkness beneath a veneer of normalcy. Poirot must determine if Joyce's claim was genuine and if it led to her untimely death.
