After being gripped by And Then There Were None and Murder on the Orient Express, I was excited to pick up another Christie novel given this was her first Poirot. Overall, the mystery was compelling but I wasn’t as gripped through the entire story compared to others of Christie’s. I wasn’t slightly dissatisfied at the final reveal of the mystery/ crime, but I do appreciate how she is able to reveal things that are unexpected.
