Much like Lessons in Chemistry, I really hate stories told from the dog’s POV. Luckily it’s minimal but still.

As always, Christie keeps you guessing until the last word of Poirot’s telling. An interesting cast of characters, including my favorite Hastings. Poirot is always best with his side kick, in my opinion. I had the vague feeling I’d read the book before throughout, but regardless, the ending completely surprised me.
