The Clocks is an interesting addition to the Hercule Poirot series. An old man had been murdered and it's up to Richard Hardcastle to figure out who killed him. 

I was surprised to see someone besides Hercule take the ropes in solving the mystery, but a welcome temporary change.

It was going really great I was thinking oh this is going to be a 3.5-4 star book. Then last 50 pages ruined it all for me. I thought that the twist was nonsensical. There were little to no signs that gave away who the murderer was. The whole experience turned from enjoyable to pointless. Since it was fun til one point I didn't give this a lower rating but it's at the bottom in terms of my enjoyment of Agatha Christie's novels.
