This was one of my favourite Agatha Christie books I've read. My Poirot interest is being dwindled with every book I read. Agatha Christie was sick of him - we can feel it. He gets less and less page count with each book. The last book I read he only enter half the book and the rest he only discover the crime as the characters talked.
With this book Poirot is there from the beginning and he gets a role in the interviews and actively he tries to uncover the crime.
Again with this book Agatha Christie demonstrated her fear of change of society and the rudeness of young people. Interesting - seeing that this book was release in 1941 it contained no reference to WWII.
Advisable to all Poirot lovers.

Not the strongest Poirot novel but still fun.
The plot felt a bit flimsier than usual. The whole "everyone is scared of the dentist" shtick got old after a few chapters (although it did dawn on me later that a dentist in the 1940s was genuinely a cause for much greater concern than it would nowadays).
The plot twist/reveal was very convoluted. Reasonably satisfying but not at all believable. Not one of the classic ending where, when the truth is revealed, everything you've learned just slides into place and it all makes sense.
But a perfectly serviceable murder mystery.
