This was my book club's selection for May. I have enjoyed the mystery genre in the past, but was not really impressed by Agatha Christie. I think I prefer watching the action unfold along with the detective. Here, there was very little action to actually unfold. And while thought games can be interesting, the "parlor-room" variety of mystery is just not my cup of tea. In addition, Poirot was so self-congratulatory, I found he grated on me. Sorry Tam :) Hmmm, maybe I don't like mysteries as much as I used to.
