Having seen the movie 10 or so years ago, I remembered one key plot point, but I still enjoyed reading this adventure of Hercule Poirot, who I think has earned the title of my favorite detective :)
It's a good story and I love Agatha Christie's style, the way the characters interact, the dialogues and the rapid fire way which Poirot delivers the explication of the crime at the end of the book!
Removed one star because of some pretty racist and sexist remarks... I know this book is old and the author was not from this time, but yeah... I was able to read through those parts easily without them affecting me too much, thankfully. But someone else could be ruffled by them.

Agatha Christie had this magical ability to wrap up her story with such satisfying flare, leaving no loose strings, making the ending the star of the novel.
I was already aware of most of the key points of the story but it made this book no less enjoyable.
