Once again, I’m disappointed with a Christie novel. The problem was, for most of the book we don’t know if there actually is a murder to solve. So Poirot is just sitting around, hoping there actually is a murder.
Most of the book is spent with characters complaining about ‘kids these days’.
As I read more Christie novels, I’ve also come to realize that her characters are quite vapid. This book was no exception. No one really adds anything to the story.

3.5 stars. I guessed some parts, didn't guess others. Parts of the telling were a little slow (mainly while Poirot was laying out his thinking), but the twists were good, and story interesting. I found the self-aware, self-insert a fun element in Mrs. Oliver. Certainly not Christie's best, but a good story nonetheless.

My first agatha Christie read. This hooked me right away, not only because Poroit is obsessed with hot chocolate and makes it very clear right away but also because the dialogue is so realistic. I felt that i was following real people peering into this mystery.
Third Girl has Poroit meet a young woman who thinks she has killed someone. She doesn't know if she did, doesn't remember who the victim is, or where it took place. A very interesting start!
This book showed me that older generations have always disliked the next generation.
