I actually spotted this in Foyles a couple of days early, but the new Poirot continuation by Sophie Hannah is out today in the UK – and on the 28th in the USA. The Last Death of the Year is the sixth that she has written to add to the series and Poirot and Catchpool are on a tiny Greek island for New Year and one of the guests at the house party is found dead after a game of New Year’s resolutions.
I have a very mixed relationship with them. I liked the first one, but wasn’t sure it felt like a Poirot. I liked the third one and thought it felt more like a “proper” Poirot but I found the second and the fourth not at all my thing. Because I’m a glutton for punishment I have the fifth one on the kindle because it was 99p! But am I resolved that I need to read that one before I even think about looking at the sample for this one!
Verity Reads Books (lots of them) 
I’ve tried a couple but they just don’t feel right to me. I’m sticking to rereading the originals from now on 😃
I’ve just spotted that there are Miss Marple and Poirot Mr Men books coming out so I think I’ll be buying those before any other continuations!
I saw those!! I wish I was still teaching as I would definitely have bought them for my class.
