Another great case by Christie involving her idiosyncratic character, the famous Hercule Poirot. I've always enjoyed cases where Poirot makes an early appearance and leads throughout and this case happens to be one of them.
Poirot has retired from taking active cases and is on vacation with his good friend Captain Hastings in the countryside. As usual, even though he doesn't look for cases to solve, he finds himself in the middle of one. He makes an acquaintance with a young lady and notices peculiar things happening to her which might suggest she could be in danger.
I loved the story and was invested throughout the case though I did find some of the details rather bizarre to be realistic. It is still an enjoyable read but if you like to solve along, this book might not be the best to put your detection skills to the test because not all clues are presented early on to invite readers to guess who the perpetrator is. However I love how Christie ties every detail and leaves no question unanswered. Without a doubt a satisfying read.
