Die Queen of Crime hat ihrem Namen wieder alle Ehre gemacht.
Die beiden Geschichten waren sehr kurzweilig und mitreißend. Hercule Poirot konnte mit seinen kleinen grauen Zellen jedes Rätsel lösen und einen mit seiner liebenswürdigen, affektierten Art begeistern. Trotzdem ich beide Geschichten bereits kannte, war es schön in diese Welt abzutauchen und mich mitreißen zu lassen.
Eine super Urlaubslektüre, kann man nur jedem empfehlen.
PS: Den Punkt Abzug gab es nur wegen der Handlungsweise mancher Frauen, die mich gestört bzw. aufgeregt haben. Man merkt, dass der Feminismus noch nicht das Britische Königreich erobert hat zu Zeiten Agatha Christies. Besonders ist mir das bei dem Ende von das Böse unter der Sonne aufgefallen.
