4.0

I enjoyed the characterization of the main characters in this mystery more than I did in the last, but I found the plot less easy to follow. I missed the victory lap Poirot took to tie up the loose ends of the first novel. I think my comprehension of Marthe's intentions would have been clearer.
I love that Hastings ends up with a love interest. He's a self-centered character, and I think Dulcie will do his character a lot of good in becoming more likable. She, herself is incredibly cool, and I hope to see more of her in future novels.
