A nice quick listen while cross stitching. Was very easy to follow and the voice actors were good, especially Poirot.

Agatha Christie has done it once again. She has written a brilliant murder mystery that has kept me hooked from the beginning.
The murders were very cleverly thought out, by going through the alphabet through names and places. I thought that was very clever and it’s the first time I’ve come across anything like it.
Hercule Poirot was, once again, solved a very complex mystery that was delivered on his door step (literally). He was very methodical in trying to work out who the murderer was. He kept many secrets in the dark about the case, which were unexpected.
I did not expect Franklin Clarke to be the murderer at all. Agatha Christie led us readers on to believe it was innocent Mr Crust. And I have to say I did believe it was Mr Crust.
At the beginning of the book, I felt quite overwhelmed by the amount of characters that had suddenly appeared, and it took me a while to figure out who was related to which murder, who believed in what, etc.
The writing of this book is very simple and easy to read along with, and it’s a great book to start reading murder mysteries. I would 100% recommend reading this book, as it’s a short book that can be classified as a standalone.

"We are in the peculiar position of not knowing which questions to ask."
Whenever I read a Hercule Poirot mystery, it inevitably feels derivative, which isn't a fair assessment since Christie's works tend to precede (and provide the blueprint for) other mysteries I read. Regardless, this series never fails to deliver a fast-paced mystery that keeps you guessing!

The story is perfectly written and pointed, the twists and turns of the storyline are well placed. I enjoyed reading this book, but it took me a while to get used to the difference between the book and the tv series.
