Agatha Christie. The Clocks

I think I should start this entry with stating that I'm not an avid Agatha Christie fan. I mean I like her novels, have read a few and have seen some film adaptations but I'm not a huge fan. This means that I'm not familiar with most of her books so it may not be completely true but to me it seemed that this work is somewhat unique. This is a Poirot story but he doesn't really appear in the whole novel, only in a few chapters. Of course it is he who solves the mystery but the ones who actually investigate are a police officer and a young man, an acquaintance of Poirot's.  I don't know it may be characteristic of the later novels where Poirot is older and so to say retired. Anyway, for me it was new. Also, in this story  there are two cases going on, one is the actual murder(s) that is in the centre of the work and the other one is that of the young man who is actually investigating a completely different one. So to sum up: the book is a bit boring at the beginning, it took me a lot of time to get over the first half, but later it becomes more and more exciting, you can hardly put it down. I liked it and I'm considering watching the film adaptation. I'm not sure there is  one but I suppose so.
