Poirot is barely in this book. It's a great book, but I've no idea why it's included as a Hercule Poirot book.
The rich people in this book soundly suck. They're just awful humans, which makes the whole thing quite enjoyable to read. John had his comeuppance. I feel for his wife, Gerder. She didn't need that sort of crap. She was completely misused throughout her life.
I honestly don't blame her... Henrietta grrr
There's psychological abuse in here that make me think Agatha Christie was ahead of her time.
