The first time I tried this book, I found it a bore. And I put it aside, until my wife convinced me to give it another try.

I'm glad that I did. Hercule Poirot is a fascinating character, and listening to David Suchet play not just the detective but all of the characters was a delight. I found that I enjoyed this story, and I kept guessing at who the killer was, and when I was sure who it was, I'd find myself guessing again.

I was surprised by the ending. I was conflicted by it, but also found that it made sense, and provided insight into the character of Poirot himself.
