I am so glad my run of disappointing Poirot novels has ended. And 'disappointing' is a subjective term, for sure. But The A.B.C. Murders is a Poirot I enjoyed. I appreciated Hastings doing his best Watson impression; I appreciated the focus on Poirot and his investigation; I appreciated the full Poirot experience again.
I also appreciate that even Christie occasionally didn't feel that a single POV was enough to tell the story she wanted to tell. She didn't overuse the outside POVs, but sprinkled them in sparingly to the best effect.
I did want to punch Inspector Crome in the face a few times, though.
