Another delightful murder mystery with the inimitable Hercule Poirot. I was even on the right track in the beginning, only to let myself get led astray as if I were Hastings! I thoroughly enjoyed Hastings' musings in this instalment of the series, and his little exchange with Poirot, where the latter tells him what makes him so invaluable in these crime-solving efforts, is quite sweet. 

As intended, this was a perfect comfort-read. All is well, the world makes sense again! As opposed to, you know, reality.
