Underwhelming. I don’t really care about Poirot, either as a person or as a detective. The only time he was at all interesting was his brief debate with Ferguson about art, otherwise he was just there to deliver plot points. In fact, all of the characters were fairly weak - a far cry from the far superior And Then There Were None. Appropriately enough, given the setting, this feels like a 1930s holiday read and nothing more.
