Very interesting, very dense. Skip to the last three chapters of you just want the answer to the question and don't want to wade through the deconstruction of the text (which I didn't feel added to the answer—although interesting in its own right).

La partie sur le roman d'Agatha Christie est fascinante, celle sur la psychanalyse est ennuyante à mourir

Meh. Not nearly as good as anticipated. I can't get over his declaration that Poirot is delusional (sorry if that spoils it for you). And I see no reason why it's better to say that Sheppard "just knew" that Ackroyd had been murdered because he _didn't_ get a phone call from Ackroyd (and that's why he hot-footed it over there) than to believe Poirot that Sheppard set up the phone call to cover his need to get back to the scene of the crime.
Otherwise, I could go along with his selection of alternate murderer (and will even admit that the psychology fits better).
