I struggled with this one. Murder doesn’t happen until 85%. It’s focused on the idea of a suspected murder that may or may not have occurred. It has a big focus on psychology and if a woman is sane or not. It didn’t age the most gracefully and had a lot of descriptors of women with less markup or non traditional clothes being frumpy in a slightly sexist tone.
Plot: Hercule Poirot does a lot of sitting in his chair thinking about “the third girl”, a woman who is the third person to live in a flat with two others.
Overall Rating: 3.5/5. I liked the Poirot and extra time with Ms Oliver. I did get the twist correct at the end and I correctly identified the red herring. A bit too predictable for me.
TW: death, sexism, suicide
