i enjoyed this not as much as the previous book (the murder of Roger Ackroyd) 

which is mentioned in the final line of this book which you may miss if not reading in release order
 
this book is Poirot and Hastings on multiple cases 

 as aposed to the usual 1 case per book thats been the norm so far

 (excluding Poirot investigates which was a bunch of unconected cases) 

the cases in thi  book where all linked by the criminal organisation the big four 

which i thought might be a potential inspiration in Alex Rider books by Anthony Horrowitz

the way Scorpia operate in those books 

i tweeted Anthony Horrowitz about it and he said possibly subconsciously which is so cool 

because this book was more about the over aching plot in how they all link together the case's do suffer slightly in how few pages they take up and connections are made a little to quickly and conveniently I'd say
