Of all of Agatha Christie's books that I've read, this one really didn't stand out to me. Maybe it's because the introduction portion was so long that it made Poirot feel like he was barely relevant to the book. I don't know, but I just found myself not really caring about the mystery, which is too bad because the characters were pretty solid!

4.0

The backstory at the start is a bit slow & boring but necessary. Nothing new or shocking. Just okay. If you need a quick mystery read for a vacation, this would be perfect.
