This is my first Agatha Christie novel! I've had a few of her novels sitting on my ereader for a while, but have never gotten around to them. I'm glad I finally made time to fit her in though, because I loved this book!
This is a fun little mystery (well, insofar as murder can be called "fun," I guess) with an interesting cast of characters. I liked the Watson/Holmes dynamic between Hastings and Poirot a lot, even if Hastings is incredibly slow on the uptake at some...well, all, really...times. ...more

Anyway, it was an enjoyable read and I might have liked it even more if I hadn't read it in tiny chunks while nursing Kait, which occasionally made it hard to follow along with Poirot's reasoning. ...more
