To be always right must be sometimes monotonous.” “I do not find it so,” Poirot assured him. Christie, Agatha. After the Funeral: Hercule Poirot Investigates (Hercule Poirot series Book 29) (pp. 275-276). HarperCollins. Kindle Edition. Mr Entwhistle calls on his old friend Hercule Poirot when a recent death of a client appears suspicious and a second person connected to the family dies. Poirot, feeling a bit bored with his retirement, agrees to look into the case. This was alright, a little bland. There wasn't much Poirot, mainly just various scenes with the Abernethie family. The mystery was interesting enough and I liked the Not my favourite Agatha Christie. 3 stars.

There is one problem with the story, but I don't know enough to say if its a legit problem or not.
As for the characters, they are all have reasons for murder - and are very much suspect. Agatha does characters well, and can capture that upper middle class haughtiness, even when they have to ride a third class carriage due to money issues. (
