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!

Graphic: Blood, Mental illness, and Murder
Moderate: Domestic abuse and Violence
Minor: War, Suicide attempt, Racial slurs, Xenophobia, Stalking, Alcohol, Infidelity, and Cancer
Mental illness: A character has anxiety and epileptic fits. Domestic abuse: Mentions of a m/f relationship where both verbally abused each other. Also another man is extremely jealous and temperamental about his female partner. We never see any of this explicitly on the page.booksbyantheia's review against another edition
