Thoroughly enjoyed, review to follow. 4.5 stars rounded down, sorry
An excellent Poirot novel, with a twist. A letter received 2 months late sends Poirot to visit a women that has unfortunately died of a liver complaint or did she ?
Poirot leans of a mysterious accident that befell Miss Arundell shortly before her death, and like a dog with a bone he now refuses to let go of "the case" despite not working for a "living" client.

4.5 STARS | Although critics would say this was not one of Christie's best works, who cares? I enjoyed it enormously. Maybe it was Bob the dog and the descriptions of his ball-playing on the stairs, or the touching dedication to her own fox-terrier Peter, or the explanation by Poirot of why all dogs dislike the postman.

Loved this book. Really great concept, and interesting MO of the murder and the previous attempted murder. Great characters and loved that little Bob got a happily ever after too.
