ReviewsSophie Hannah does an egoless, silky job of reviving Agatha Christie's beloved Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. . . . Enough so to hope that Hannah turns to Miss Marple next., Once again [Hannah] ably channels Christie and delivers a deftly plotted, pleasingly intricate and thrillingly executed mystery. . . . Hannah keeps her readers on their toes through numerous twists and turns, right up until the trademark drawing-room denouement. . . . It is good to see that [Poirot] is still at work, in Hannah's more than capable hands., An intelligent blend of obeisance and originality, The Killings at Kingfisher Hill merits high praise for the work of Christie and Hannah alike., Among the many posthumously-continued mystery series, is any in better hands than Poirot is in Sophie Hannah's? The poet and crime scribe has managed to keep the spirit of Agatha Christie's novels alive while always introducing new touches and flourishes to keep readers guessing and delighted. . . . Insidious motivations and secret pasts converge in high Christie fashion, as the puzzle plays out in highly satisfying fashion., Stylish, classy . . . Make no mistake, this is the same Hercule Poirot fans the world over know and worship. But Hannah has modernized the way in which the story's told just enough that the pacing is noticeably quicker, making it that much harder to put down. . . . one of the finest writers on the scene today. . . . The Killings at Kingfisher Hill is a masterfully plotted, mind-bending thriller that harkens back to the days when Agatha Christie ruled the genre. Bravo Sophie Hannah!, Clever, amusing, complicated . . . a psychological thriller with a characteristically intricate and humorous puzzle of a plot., The flow of the story is suitably Christie-like . . . the reader could segue from Murder on the Orient Express into this present novel without a stumble., For lovers of Poirot and all things Christie . . . you will be in a state of nirvana. Sophie Hannah has long ago blurred the lines between her hand and that of Christie's to the point that the two are indistinguishable from each other. . . . one of my favorite reads of 2020 and the most addictive page-turner of the four Poirot books that Hannah has written. I wait with bated breath for her next offering in this outstanding revival., Readers will feel steeped in the environs of upper-middle-class England of days past, the chill emanating from a dysfunctional family, and the torture of doing the wrong thing for the right reasons as they enjoy Catchpool's exasperation and Poirot's genius-at-work sensibilities. . . . Recommend this to board-game aficionados as well as to fans of Christie and Hannah.
