"I am much aged, my power may not be what they were. In all probability this is the last case I shall ever investigate. But Hercule Poirot does not end with a failure."

Even retirement cannot stop Hercule Poirot from doing what he does best: solving mysteries!
This time he doesn’t have Hastings with him. So with Dr. Sheppard as his assistant, Poirot sets out to investigate. A typical whodunit with a surprising twist! As usual, he doesn’t say much and he has his peculiar ways.
"My friend Hastings, he of whom I told you, used to say of me that I was the human oyster. But he was unjust. Of facts, I keep nothing to myself. But to everyone his own interpretation of them."

One of my favourite characters in this story is Caroline. She knows almost everything that happens in King’s Abbot.

"Caroline can do any amount of finding out by sitting placidly at home. I don’t know how she manages it, but there it is."
