I liked this one much better than the last one [b:The Big Four|16316|The Big Four (Hercule Poirot, #5)|Agatha Christie|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1372506728l/16316._SY75_.jpg|721292].

After the big four i thought Agatha was going to let me down and I was going to be an outlier and not be a fan of her books.

But [b:The Mystery of the Blue Train|16335|The Mystery of the Blue Train (Hercule Poirot, #6)|Agatha Christie|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1389733972l/16335._SY75_.jpg|1748] was soo much better. I still find my favorite to be [b:The Murder of Roger Ackroyd|16328|The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (Hercule Poirot, #4)|Agatha Christie|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1389734015l/16328._SY75_.jpg|1073110], but this one was okay.

Like the other Christie novels I've read so far, this book is completely charming and twists cleverly at the end. I think the ending was a bit more obvious/predictable than most of her other writing, but still enjoyable. The exposition also felt rather long to me - Poirot doesn't get mentioned until perhaps ten chapters in.
