It proved to be a pretty clever mystery in the end. I was not very convinced by Poirot's reasoning at the start of the case though, it all seemed a bit far-fetched. Poor Emily Arundell. What a horrible end she met, and what a horrible family she had to deal with.

I really enjoyed this right up to the end.
Poirot you really disappointed me with how you handled this.
But I was very happy with the ending for Bob.

Another great novel from the renowned Agatha Christie. This mystery really kept me on my toes, and it was so fun to see Poirot sleuth around under false pretenses - Hastings being so wound up by it made it such a fun addition. Ending was surprising but still satisfying.

The middle section was very repetitive, felt like I had to push through to get to the end, however, I did like the ending.
