A bit complex story to understand but it ended faster than I thought it would.
I really liked how this one involved a will and for once there was no crime, murder, or police involvement. I feel like overall this was a fitting story/showing for his skill-set, but it still included randomness in the end that we all accept as Poirot's genius...
I think this one was a good ending to Christie's short story book, ‘Poirot Investigates,' in general because it ended happily, without a murder case, and with Poirot wholeheartedly believing Miss March has earned the money honestly by hiring him.
