A good solid Agatha Christie (Poirot tale). I don't have much to add other than this is quite good, entertaining and fun.
Wow. Whatever you say about this book, the ending was completely unexpected.
Looks like Poirot is getting older, but still a great book. Agatha Christie knows how to deceive people :)
