I'd give it somewhere between 2 and 3 stars. I find the characters a bit odd to believe in and I especially find it tough to believe that people would be convicted and hanged on some of the chain of reasonings supplied. In this one, the final bit to force a confession was more plausible than some of the other ones I've seen.

The story is about a student boarding house, and the various shenanigans that students engage in. Poirot gets a person killed by poking around and then it goes downhill from there. :)

I enjoyed this mystery. I liked the array of characters, each being well written with good back stories. The only disappointment is that Poirot is not our main investigator and barely makes an appearance. The mystery itself was well thought out, however I did guess the ending.
