This is the best Poirot novel I’ve come across. I could not see the twist and reveal of the killer coming, though I had some premonitions about 75% of the way through. I truly didn’t know which way things would head, but the fact that Christie can always land her endings makes her such a master of the genre.

It was really baffling when none of the suspects really made sense. Never in my life did I think the twist would catch me so off guard. Even after the reveal when the killer is describing how he did the murder, I just sat there dumbfounded. Couldn't figure out the killer in this one but the twist works so well

Going back and reading you can see areas where Sheppards reaction to some of the information being presented was truly odd. Thats what makes this such a compelling novel I want to pick up more Agatha Christie after this one fosho
