After a thirteen year old girl boasts about witnessing a murder at a Halloween party, hours later she is found murdered in the library. An author who was at the party invites her friend Hercule Poirot to investigate.

This book inspired the movie A Haunting in Venice, but let's be honest they are two completely different stories, each good in their own turn. This book held my attention and even though I suspected who the murderer was fairly early on, the breakdown of motive and maneuvering was interesting to follow along. Not much that is spooky about this book, not much about Halloween, but still a solid mystery novel.
