Halloween puzzles featuring Poirot’s Ariadne Oliver

Fancy curling up by the fire and exercising your ‘little grey cells’ this Halloween? Then you’ll be pleased to hear the official Agatha Christie website has shared some spooky season puzzles that are perfect for Zoë Wanamaker fans.

There’s a digital jigsaw puzzle featuring Zoë as the delightfully eccentric crime writer Ariadne Oliver and David Suchet’s fastidious private detective Hercule Poirot. You may recognise the photo – it’s from ‘Halloween Party’, the 2010 Poirot episode about an evening’s entertainment that takes a dark turn. The programme is available on streaming services such as ITVX – I’m keen to re-watch it as part of my Halloween celebrations!

Plus, there’s an Ariadne Oliver-themed word search to solve.

Enjoy - and I hope all Zoe’s fans have a terrifyingly good Halloween!
