Christie's strength draws on her quiet knowledge. Of unpretentious, homebrew methods of murder. Science, yes, but nothing of this scale. Hastings is growing on me as I read on. I'll still say the cat and mouse game between Number 4 and Poirot was very entertaining, but thinking on it, it felt like a series of short stories stuffed into a novel to advance the plot.

The structure of the story was different compared to the other Poirot stories. Whilst the focus mainly lies on the Big Four, Poirot has many side investigations which all in turn seem to be connected to the Big Four.
