Hallowe'en Party by Agatha Christie



This Performance was the Last Selection in Hegel's Hallowe'en Happening for 2010.  Happy Halloween everyone from me to you.  -------------  Rick

Hallowe'en Party is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie and first published in the UK by the Collins Crime Club in November 1969[1] and in the US by Dodd, Mead and Company later in the same year. The UK edition retailed for twenty-five shillings[1]. In preparation for decimalisation on February 15, 1971, it was also priced on the dustjacket at £1.25. The US edition retailed at $5.95.

The novel features her Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and the mystery novelist Ariadne Oliver. The novel’s concentration on child murder (with its possible sexual motivation), the irresponsibility of teenagers and the crisis in crime and punishment make it one of Christie’s most modern and unsettling novels.[neutrality is disputed] This book was dedicated to P.G. Wodehouse.

    When a child is found murdered on All Hallows' Eve, Ariadne Oliver sends for her old friend Hercule Poirot.

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

    That night, Hercule Poirot is called in to find the 'evil presence'. But first he must establish whether he is looking for a murderer or a double-murderer ...

    Starring: John Moffatt/Stephanie Cole/Alexandra Bastedo.
