There is about as much subtance in this entire novel as there is just in the blurb... much like 'Cards on the Table' it relies heavily on interrogations. Any tension is created purely through suspicious questioning to cover up the fact that nothing much is really happening.
And there's so much speculation that simply ends up being right?? C'mon now! Where's the venture? Where's the blunder?
You know I love to see my dream duo together again,, but boy is all this visiting people a bit of a slog!
*Shoutout to Bob, my unproblematic fave.*

This is classic Christie: an old lady dying under suspicious circumstances, an array of possible suspects, and a sleight of hand that ensures you won't beat Poirot to solving the crime. I figured out the piece about the brooch right away so Poirot's attempts to get Hastings to understand felt belabored, but I still wasn't able to fit who was on the stairs into the larger narrative of what happened. I enjoyed the read.

I love Agatha Christie sm- this book falls somewhere in the middle of the ranking for me with her books (so far), but Poirot is so fun.
I found this one slightly duller than some of her others, just because it was a lot of travel + interviewing + review and less IMMEDIATE suspense. still solid though! Happy to report that this was the closest I’ve come to solving a case
