You can find reviews for individual books on those book's pages: Death on the Nile, The ABC Murders, and Five Little Pigs. (I was just feeling a little too lazy to do an overall review for all three of the books.) So here are my favorite quotes:

"See you, I recognize my own weaknesses. It has been said of me that I like to make a case difficult. This solution that you put to me - it is too simple, too easy. I cannot feel that it really happened. And yet, that may be the sheer prejudice on my part."

"I have already told Hastings that I am like the prima donna who makes always one more appearance," said Poirot, smiling.

"Of course I hadn't quite as much experience then as I have now. All the same I think I did all that could humanly be done. We did get it commuted to penal servitude. Provocation, you know. Lots of respectable wives and mothers got up a petition. There was a lot of sympathy for her."
