4.5

Book twenty-eight in my personal read through of Agatha Christie in (American) publication order.

A pleasant four star mystery that got 4.5 stars for two reasons:

I didn't guess the ending.

Hastings obsessed with a dog is far more enjoyable to read about than Hastings obsessed with a girl (as he usually is).

Original DNF review:
Coming back to this book, obviously, but I'm going to need a different edition, because the formatting in this kindle book  is full of this sort of thing in the middle of words -- #^~. Too distracting.

This is the first Poirot book I ever read, and what a delightful ride it was! I enjoyed the many twists and turns, Hastings as a somewhat reliable, if not very observant narrator, and the cast of characters that are all very interesting. The mystery remained until the very end and it was a joy to guess along.
