Although I knew the story prior to reading it, that in no way took away from this book. I mean, it's Agatha Christie! 
 Hercule Poirot, as usual, came to some amazing conclusions with regards to the cast of characters he was surrounded by. Unfortunately some of the clues are terribly dated, for example a woman being called by her given name being indicative of familiarity vs her being called Mrs., however this remains a fun book to read as you try to get into the mind of one of the world's most renowned detectives.
