I love Agatha Christie and I was enjoying this book until the last few chapters. I felt the resolution to the mystery fell rather flat and was not satisfying.

Third Girl, among other things, was overwhelming forgettable. I'm writing this review only two days after completing the novel, and nothing besides the basics of the plot are particularly memorable. The characters are mediocre, and the story itself quickly became so convoluted that it's difficult to remember most aspects of it. However, the novel is still interesting to an extent, and I did appreciate that the final solution was a bit darker compared to other Christie reads. Overall, Third Girl is certainly not a bad novel, but it's certainly not one of Christie's best.

I'll say I kind of half guessed this one lol. it's different from other poirots, it's modernized, but imo it works in this particular book. maybe i just like when they're more character focused. I liked when poirot got called old and just had to be overly dramatic about it
