This was a fast read that was perfect for a sick day. 

I'd never read an Agatha Christie novel until today, and shame on me! It was a great murder mystery, but without being overly grotesque and macabre. 

I watched the movie from 1974 last night, and Poirot cracked me up. I had to read the book. He doesn't disappoint in the books, either!
