Rereading this for ReadingChristie2022- not my favorite Poirot, but this book has one of the craziest red herrings ever :D
The book focused more on the Abernethie family, a typical dysfunctional Christie family, and not focused too much on Poirot's investigation. I think perhaps Christie was a bit bored with Poirot when writing this book, so she only gave him a small portion ;)
However, if you like mystery with dysfunctional old family, this one is still decent. ...more

Another great Christie mystery that kept me guessing until the end.
