“Small men always admire big, flamboyant women”

I would give it 4.5 stars really. Fantastically written and another fun story telling the tales of magnificent Poirot and simple Hastings. It is a bit far fetched in comparison to the usual Poirot stories. I just prefer the smaller stories that hold less of a world-ending-impact. Still a great one by Christie nevertheless.

What a baffling experience! This was a bizarre fever dream of James Bond-esque supervillains with confusingly vague world-domination motives, way too many elaborate disguises, way too much casually racist language, and way too little cohesion. I think Agatha Christie does her best work and has her keenest insights about human nature when working close to home, in microcosm - a group of old friends, a small and sleepy village, a dysfunctional family. Not when she’s trying to work with … whatever this was!

Wow, what a ride! Hugh Fraser is a great audiobook reader, but the plot was kind of ridiculous and repetitive. This is not my favorite Poirot story for sure but I was still entertained.
