This one kept me guessing even though I could swear I’ve read it before 😂 Agatha Christie just knows how to craft a complex plot where there is enough detail that you can see all the clues you missed in hindsight. And Poirot himself is just so delightful and avuncular. Rest assured if you end up mixed up in a murder and you are innocent, Papa Poirot will play matchmaker and find you a suitable spouse.

First finish of 2019. I had a suspicion who it would be but couldn't say why and did not predict the path it took to get there.

I need to read more of Christie's work. This wasn't as good as Orient Express, but it was GOOD

A good read and no, I’d no idea “who dunnit.” Interesting to read as well from a semi-historical point of view, when Croydon was England’s only international airport and the plane had ventilation holes in the windows.

Unlikely in so many ways, and very similar to some of her other stories.
