Books like Hallowe'en Party by Agatha Christie
At Woodleigh Common, novelist Ariadne Oliver is invited to a spooky Halloween celebration. Among the guests is a cynical teenager named Joyce, famed for exaggerating lurid tales of murder. During the festivities, Joyce is found drowned in the apple‑bobbing tub, sparking doubts about her tales of a past murder she supposedly witnessed.
Oliver, intrigued by the coincidence, turns to her friend Hercule Poirot for help. Together they must sift through the masked party attendees, the eerie stillness of the forest, and the possibility that Joyce’s death was intentional. Uncovering the killer beneath the Halloween shadows proves difficult, as no one at Woodleigh believes Joyce was truly murdered.
