If you want action, seek elsewhere. If you want to read about investigators interviewing, read on. Please ignore Poirot's constant half-musings as he turns out to have been fooled at the end, anyway. Unusual for her, Christie doesn't give the readers all of the evidence needed to solve the crime on their own.
You know how mysteries set certain time periods always mention that no one pays attention to the servants, so the servants see and hear things that make a difference? Well, you should pay attention. In fact, Christie makes it so obvious that you should pay attention that the big reveal isn't one.
The machinations the criminal mastermind undertakes are laughable in their implausibility.
