One of the more interesting Poirot mysteries! And a sprinkle of “Papa Poirot” in there as well, which I always love
A ‘Young lady' arrives to see Poirot about a murder she May have committed but she leaves before giving any information. Poirot and Ariadne Oliver go on an adventure to find the girl and to find out what happened in this ‘murder'. Poirot is my favourite of Agatha's Characters. He misses nothing and pieces it all together so effortlessly. The writing style of this story along with other Poirot's is much easier to understand and take in than other Agatha Christie books. It is nice for Poirot and Ariadne to work together again. I enjoyed Aridane's character in previous books such as ‘Cards on the Table'. Ariadne is slightly chaotic and adventurous writing while Poirot is level-headed and calculating. This is a very amusing mixture of characters much like Hastings and Poirot x 10. I definitely recommend this book. I do not feel it is the place to start with Poirot's books but it is a brilliant addition to the collection.
