Not quite as compelling as others, and the varied young foreign people were tagged kind of flatly (not to mention that classic old fashioned racism that's always sprinkled throughout her books). Poirot was still plenty funny though.
I really enjoyed the characterization of Poirot in the first chapter, and was intrigued by the setup of a series of peculiar thefts that don’t seem to be explainable. But the solution fell down for me in a way that’s uncommon with Christie. There were too many suspects of nebulous personality and very little chance to figure out the solution.
Nevertheless, I leave you with a classic Poirot moment that made me laugh:
With George, his perfect manservant, and Miss Lemon, his perfect secretary, order and method ruled supreme in his life. Now that crumpets were baked square as well as round, he had nothing about which to complain.

This was intriguing, as always, but not one of my favorite Hercule Poirot mysteries. I wasn’t on the edge of my seat as I am with several other Poirot books.
