3.0

Unfortunately this was not a good Poirot novel. The framing device of Hasting's introduction was a strange choice and it made the story feel repetitive. The murder itself just wasn't that intriguing and while the book was still very readable, it felt a little long. Also the title seemed to have nothing to do with the story. I think I've still got a few good Poirot's left but I know I've read most of the best ones now.
