This was an enjoyable if decidedly average Hercule Poirot mystery. It took a long time to get started, as we first get third-person views of a bunch of different characters — I don't think we even see Hercule Poirot for the first quarter of the book. I've read enough Christie now that I was able to pick out the killer pretty early, though I still didn't piece it all together before Poirot explained it. This was certainly an improvement over the previous book's save-the-world plot, but it's not one of the best.

Det kan godt være at "cozy mysteries" og krimier og lignende aldrig bliver mine favoritter, men jeg kan forstå hvorfor folk stadig læser og taler om Agatha Christie. Hver gang jeg læser en af hendes bøger bliver jeg underholdt og overrasket og denne her er ikke en undtagelse der. Med det sagt, så er jeg ikke helt solgt på den. Plottet føles lidt rushed og selvom slutningen. Og løsningen på mysteriet helt sikkert er intelligent, så føltes den ikke helt passende for resten af historien.

Las historias de Agatha Christie nunca aburren ni defraudan.

Me encanta volver a ella y a sus historias cada cierto tiempo.
