What is there to say about one of the greatest detective novels of all time? This is my 3rd time reading it.
Poirot methodically gathers all information, puts it together, after which it's quite easy to see how he comes to his conclusions to figure out the murder.
I do wonder,how different this plot would have gone if he had not found the note linking Ratchett to the Armstrong case.
One of my favorite parts is right at the end, when we're all in suspense, and he's about to reveal the truth to everyone. Everyone leans forward in anticipation. And then it still takes him another paragraph to explain the answer. I think this was done on purpose for a bit of comic relief. I laughed, anyway.
Good book, I think everyone should read it.
