Amusant, maar ook langdradig. Het is duidelijk dat Agatha Christie veel naar haar gekeken heeft, maar gelukkig schreef die compactere boeken.
slow-paced
It her best. Ponderously slow, found Whimsey and Vane annoying, and did not enjoy. Although I did finish it with some skimming.

This was disappointing and definitely shows the skill of Christie over that of Sayers. The ending was practically useless

Une constatation: toute enquête qui tourne autour d'un problème d'horaire (l'heure de la marée haute, dans ce cas-ci) m'est pas mal pénible. Heureusement, le noeud de l'intrigue de Have His Carcase est tellement grotesque (tout part du fait que le défunt croyait dur comme fer être l'héritier du tsar de toutes les Russies) que ça rachète presque la pléthore de longs dialogues circulaires sur le moment exact du décès. Triste de voir que le valet imperturbable du détective se fait de plus en plus discret, mais j'imagine que c'est le prix à payer pour l'entrée en scène d'une love interest qui a le mérite de dire des choses intelligentes une fois de temps en temps.

Reread for research. This isn't a book that stands up to rereading. Some mysteries do but this one hinges on one small thing that, if you know already, makes the entire thing feel like a waste of time.
A few good Harriet and Lord Peter bits but really very, very focused on the mystery, which is of the timetables variety.
