Gee
While I miss Hastings as the narrator and I found Leatheran a bit annoying at times, this was an overall good and engaging mystery. There was a good enough fleshing out of characters and their personalities. The red herrings were good and not bonkers wild. Poirot's bit at the end felt longer than usual (or I've read enough of these that they keep on getting longer for me) and it's both suspenseful and annoying.
