This was not as well plotted as some of Christie's other books.  Too many unknowns that were not worked through and nothing is really explained.  I felt like Poirot just knew things without any explanations and the criminals were supposed to be super powerful with a whole network of people working for them but when they are caught, supposedly it is all over and the people under them all quietly fade away.  The book just didn't flow well for me and had a lot of plot holes.
