A fairly decent Poirot whodunnit, but a little underwhelming considering the amount of praise it seems to have got. The first half or so was a bit hard to get through because it’s mainly just very slow paced character introduction and development, and to be honest I don’t think the slow burn really paid off, because I felt that while the final reveal was supposed to be shocking, it didn’t really land for me. Still though, a very cleverly concocted mystery by Agatha Christie—I guess that reading some of the most highly regarded Poirot novels first set my expectations too high.
