Mysteries are only as good as the characters that are met along the path to the truth. Hercule Poirot is such a funny detective character: his lines always make me smile. This book also has rich side characters with unique qualities and eccentricities. The reveal is satisfying, but honestly the best part of this book was hanging out in the small town King's Abbott with a bunch of nosy British townfolk. This qualifies as a cozy murder mystery for sure.
