3.9 AVERAGE

mysterious tense medium-paced

Assez mitigée, j’ai beaucoup aimé l’idée mais bizarrement ça m’a fait penser à « Drame en trois actes » et on ne s’attache pas vraiment aux personnages principaux, un peu comme dans « Pourquoi pas Evans » … mitigée donc mais encore une fois de beaux indices parfaitement glissés dans le fil de l’histoire, ça on ne peut l’enlever à Agatha Christie

3.5 rounded down. Another re-read. This one actually has a better TV adaptation. Not something I say very often, but then again, this is more of a thriller than a murder mystery. Poirot is kinda suppressed in this, and the reveal is definitely kinda.. Not exactly impossible to guess but it was very neatly tied up with a bow. I don't think I'll come back to this one. I did also vaguely remember this one (from the David Suchet TV adaptation)

A nice little tale.
