So, I discovered this book through a Reddit thread recommendation of "Thriller Books you Should Go Into Blind Reading." And while I'm glad I didn't know anything about the story, I have read books similar to it before.
M. Poirot reminds me of Sherlock Holmes if he drank less and was more French. I also enjoyed the perspective of the unreliable narrator, versus the story being told from the detective's perspective. This book would be a 5/5 if Poirot didn't annoy me as much with his constant game playing and hiding of the facts. I mean, I'm French and he got on my nerves.
But seriously, definitely recommend this book if you want a fun thriller/whodunit
