3.0

This read very much like a Hercule Poirot story, a very classy detective mystery with a man with a French accent. It was really wordy and a bit confusing, but I did read it very quickly so perhaps I would like it more if I took my time with it. I definitely would not mind reading more of Poe's Dupin stories.
