Pages: 378
Part of Series: Herculae Poirot
Reading Time: August 2022 (5 days)
Rating: 4 Stars

So another Agatha Christie novel read, I a missing 5 or 6 novels I Am not completely sure to finish reading every Poirot novel.

So we are in after WW2 and Christie was very bluntly hating to write more Poirot stories - and this is no exception - how do I know this? Well first of all, in a book with a length of 370 pages how is it possible that he only appears after one third has pass? Then he is rarely present, just to give some feedback and to discover the criminal. Most of the tale is told by other characters.

Just to take of the bat I didn't find IT , well to be honest I had two suspects - one was the killer.

A man dies, supposedly from normal circumstances but one of his sisters say "Well, he was murderer was it not?"; afterwards she is found dead at home. Now, something really happen right? Our investigator is called to solve the crime and there are plenty of peoples-suspects. In that regard it was interesting because most didn't have any particular motif.

Either way, a fast paced novel but don't expect much of Poirot.
