Going to reread because I missed too much the first time through.
On reread, the very interesting! Wouldn't have seen the reveal of the murderer without having known it already.

I'm not sure this one came together for me as well as some previous books. While I find Ariadne Oliver compelling as a character, I generally don't like the plot of the books where she appears as much. I, like Poirot, kinda miss Hastings.

Anyhoo...

The Queen of Mystery is not quite as on her game, but she's still sharp enough to craft a twisty mystery.
