I was enjoying the story well enough, and thought I had spotted quite a few of the clues along the way; the plot twist at the end took me completely by surprise, though. Very well done!

I seldom call one if Christie's murderers right from the beginning but I did here. And boy was I led on a constant did-they?did-they-not? chase through the book to a very satisfying conclusion.

Was slow and didn’t catch my attention but the end was a complete surprise.

One of the few Poirot books whise ending has stuck with me. Despite re-reading this book (for the 2nd time) after almost 11 years, and marking what I thought were possible clue, the explanation at the end was just as satisfying to read as the first time, although I admit it didn't have the same effect it had on me the first time I read this book. Definitely a must read Christie novel.

One of my favorite Christie Mysteries. Poirot novels are always a fun read for me (because I love the mystery genre) and she’s not the world’s best selling author (barring God and Shakespeare) for nothing. This is the 4th novel in the Poirot series but besides a few unimportant references they’re all pretty standalone. The killer reveal in this one literally made me go :0 it’s just a very interesting plot line.
