This was a very interesting plot. Since the beginning we know the killer must be one of four persons, all with the same probability, motive and motivation. Nonetheless it is still surprising, and entertaining.
Recommend it to all Poirot fans and people that like well written stories.

An eccentric man named Shantaina invites four investigators including Poirot and Ariadne and four possible murderers to a dinner party. He ends up dead and there are four suspects and many twists.
Assolutamente geniale! La Christie in questo non delude.
Non mi sento, nonostante questo, di dargli cinque stelline semplicemente perché per le prime 100 pagine non mi stavano piacendo più di tanto.
Tranne questo dettaglio il finale è assolutamente stravolgente, un colpo di scena dopo l’altro.

I feel like if I knew how to play Bridge then this would have been way more enjoyable
Já prostě Agathu Christie miluju, neuvěřitelně dobře promyšlené detektivky, které mě ještě nikdy nenudily
I like the premise of this book, as well as how it resolves. I am not a fan of Mrs. Oliver, however, and found her more distracting than entertaining. Not my favorite Christie, but still one of the solid ones.
Rating caveats for Christie's racism (pretty terrible in this one!) and misogyny (also real bad!).
This is a bonkers mystery. There are a number of false endings, Poirot's whole schtick with the "evidence" pretty much comes to nothing until he decides that he was looking at it wrong because of who actually dunnit, so ...
Still kinda fun, despite all the above.
