It’s a silly little mystery book. I love me some Agatha Christie as a palate cleanser between more serious books. Not a fan of the antisemitic comments, though

Book fifteen in my personal read through of Agatha Christie in publication order! The mystery was especially good and hard to predict in this one. If the characters were more likeable it might have  been in the running to be one of my all time favorites. Though I did find Hastings more tolerable than usual in this one!

I loved it so much, it showed Poirot as a human and Hastings was really great as a sidekick. Also I knew the ending already XD
