I was able to figure out the killer fairly early on, which doesn’t happen often!

Another vintage Poirot mystery--this one has Captain Hastings as the narrator. By the time you get to Poirot #16, the relationship between Hastings and Poirot is pretty stale, in my opinion. In this regard, Christie relied on a formula and stuck doggedly to it, rather to Hastings' detriment. The murder mystery, however, is clever, and the solution hinges on something a careful reader ought to be able to figure out, if she is paying attention!
