I didn't get all of the solution to this before the end of the story, but I did get most of it. Not, I must say, because I was channeling Poirot, but because I've read enough of Christie to know that she leans heavily - and far too often, in my opinion - on disguises. Once a reader knows that, they tend to be on the watch out. That being said, as repetitive as her mysteries often are in this regard, this was still a fun story and very cleverly put together. The stuffed cat was an especially nice touch!
