I liked this Poirot very much, and I think it's become one of my favorites, which is odd since it's a first-person Hastings Poirot, and I don't usually like those as much (Hastings' opaqueness drives me a bit cuckoo). But Poirot was so very perfectly "Poirot" in this one, and he actually made fun of Hastings quite a bit. Plus, the crime was perfect and the reveal was fun. And the letter at the end made me laugh out loud. Very enjoyable stuff.

Soooo convoluted that I stopped even trying to keep track of clues and alibis. I mean, it was still clever, but as the reader I felt like I was being spun around and around blindfolded. I feel not quite fairly done by. Ah well. They can't all be marvelous! Fortunately most of them are.
