Really enjoyed the setup, the setting, and some of the characters. The resolution got a bit wild. But the storytelling zipped along so nicely that it was a really fun reading experience.

I was expecting more Poirot in this book but kinda liked how it played out! There was more international affairs, if you could call it that, in this book which gave the book a more unique story line. The very end had me a little confused though. I could tell by reading this that this story was one of Christie’s later books despite the boarding school setting but not in a bad way-just good in a slightly different way!

I found this plot to be too involved and hard to follow. Detective Poroit didn’t enter the book until it was almost over.
