    This really is one of Agatha Christie’s very best novels. Absolutely engaging and brilliant from beginning to end. Highly, highly recommended!

    This could be the best of the Poirot books. The reader is lead on a merry chase around England for a homicidal maniac. Dame Agatha’s attention to detail keeps one on their toes.

    Too complex.

  • not the best of Poirot

    The twist is not exciting and Poirot’s explanation of it a bit too tidy. Character development is not on par with Nile, Orient Express, Roger Ackroyd…

  • Loved this so much

    I loved this. My dad thought it was a little slow but the characters, cinematography, and acting was absolutely insane. Great production and intriguing story.

  • One of Agatha’s Best

    Had to read it for a summer reading book for high school. A little bit confusing at first but turned out to be really good I didn't like the French part though that was hard to understand

  • Awesome
