It was okay, I couldn't get into this book for a reason. But it was still a good mystery book.

Well done. Full of twists and turns.
Listening to the narrator made me want to run around saying things like, "Mon dieu! But what is zis?"

I love Agatha Christie's writing style. It's so easy to get drawn into the mystery. The story for this installment in the Poiriot series is fun, I found it easy to get lost in the book. The mystery is intriguing, it kept me on my toes throughout my read.

The characters are fun. Hurcule Poiroit is such an amusing and intriguing character. Hastings was a bit whiny but not so much that it annoyed me. The other side characters didn't stand out too much but I still enjoyed spending time with them.
