There is definitely profiling and outdated prejudice present in this novel, but it is still an entertaining and well-crafted read. The mystery holds out well until the end and, though not a completely shocking reveal, does keep one guessing.
Agatha Christie is a master mystery writer.

I've read other Agatha Christie books, but for some reason I'd never picked up a Poirot novel. This was a fascinating read, and the plot was great.
