So... I didn't work out who was the culprit, but I did work out *quite* early on that there was a very important character missing from the discussions of whodunnit. No one was ever mentioning this person, and it didn't take a detective to deduce that this person had another identity that would prove to be very important indeed.
I'm not used to a gap that glaring from Agatha Christie... usually she covers all bases and doesn't give you room to think she's skipping anything. But I'll allow it, seeing as how it wasn't actually the culprit. :) (But was still part of the solution.)

I had my suspicions from the beginning about the real murderer and I’m glad I was right but it was still so fun to see how Poirot solved the mystery!

Un Hercule Poirot remarcabil, ca de obicei. Nu poti sa nu-l indragesti pe micul belgian.

As always, I enjoy Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot novels. This one was enjoyable, yet it doesn’t quite rank amongst my favorites.

This is a solid mystery but not Christie’s most gripping work. I enjoyed it overall and I love Poirot as the main detective (and sometimes matchmaker).
