I don't think I get Agatha Christie. This was barely a story. I like logic puzzles, but this wasn't even a great one of those- too long and too many times where I was looking for specific information that Poirot received and I didn't.

This is my second of her books and I rated the other 3 stars as well, but I quite liked the cozy mystery vibe and Miss Marple as the main character. Poirot is smug and annoying and has basically no personality beyond that.

I perhaps would have enjoyed this more if it was more succinct or if the characters had been more than caricatures, but I like logic puzzles. It's fun to puzzle things through on your own and put together the pieces. I just don't understand the love for this. It felt so meh.
