dame agatha i know you were going through a lot when this was written but whyyyyyyy. this was such a slog, it was super racist even given its time of writing (i had a good laugh at the evil chinese smells). i got through this book only because of its smattering of fun poirot & hastings character moments, so i'm just going to imagine that hastings made all of this up to lie to his wife about why he was hanging out with poirot for 6+ months.
