This is the second Hercule Poirot book I've read and I've got to hand it to Agatha Christie, she is a marvelous storyteller. It's funny to read tropes that she had a big part in popularizing and to think of them as cliched because you've first come across all the works inspired by her, but I think that happened here. I don't know why this wasn't a five star read for me, but it could have been.
I love everything about Poirot as a character, and his dedication to his craft and his desire to retire and just garden is honestly so relatable. I too like to dye my hair and wind up policemen and call things "queer".
Time for the next mystery!
