The Killings at Kingfisher Hill (5/5)

Two people dead, two confessions, two detectives. The Killings at Kingfisher Hill is a Hercule Poirot mystery written by Sophie Hannah. The Poirot stories do not have a specific order and do not need any previous knowledge to delve into it.The book follows Poirot and his assistant, Inspector Catchpool, as they travel to Kingfisher Hill to investigate the death of Frank Devonport. Frank’s fiance had already admitted to the murder, but Poirot is not convinced. As they are investigating, a second person turns up dead inside the Devonport house, and Poirot and Catchpool are bewildered. Suddenly, Frank’s sister admits to the death of Frank. Poirot and Catchpool are confused as now they have 2 confessions to one murder. Poirot works out the mystery about who actually killed Frank, and who killed the second woman who was found dead. This book is, in my opinion, one of the best Hercule Poiort mysteries. The story constantly develops so that it keeps your attention and does not get boring. As the story evolves, more and more things happen which helps add to the overall world building and keeps you wanting to read. Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery novels and Hercule Poirot in general. This book takes the original Hercule Poirot story formula and adds more to it. The twist of two confessions and the second person found dead really grips the reader and it is the reason I kept reading. It adds a shock factor that entices anyone reading.
