“To all of us, Mademoiselle, there comes a time when death is preferable to life. But it passes—sorrow passes and grief.”
Am I dumb? Am I stupid? Like how wrong can I be? Okay, one suspicion I had was correct but the rest? Nope, I’d make a horrible detective. Also, as much as I love the friendship between Hastings and Poirot, Poirot’s digs at his ‘friend’ and his conceit of how amazing he is, got tiring. Anyway, off to the next one!

Hastings and Inspector Japp return in this very solid, very satisfying Poirot mystery. As usual, I was left puzzling about the murderer until the very end. 4/5 stars.

I feel like unlike the Murder of Roger Ackroyd this one actually earned its plot twist and it was excellent in the way that you can see the moments where you should have been clued into the murderer's identity but it was hidden cleverly. I've seen some criticism about the characters which I agree with but honestly I don't usually find myself particularly taken by the characters and their personalities more so than I enjoy the plot and the twists. Feel like this is one of the greatest ones I've read from her so far
