I love everything about Poirot as a character, and his dedication to his craft and his desire to retire and just garden is honestly so relatable. I too like to dye my hair and wind up policemen and call things "queer".
Time for the next mystery!
Graphic: Mental illness, Blood, and Murder
Moderate: Domestic abuse and Violence

Mental illness: A character has anxiety and epileptic fits. Domestic abuse: Mentions of a m/f relationship where both verbally abused each other. Also another man is extremely jealous and temperamental about his female partner. We never see any of this explicitly on the page.booksbyantheia's review against another edition

The plot is woven intricately and thrills the reader with twists and turns. Following the ever impressive Poirot through the murders, making guesses alongside Hastings, and having all your guesses turned upside down are the classic hallmarks of a Christie novel, and this is no exception. I love Christie’s style of writing, and I found the book very hard to put down.
However, I found the ending didn’t satisfy me in the way I’d hoped. It left me with unanswered questions, and a vaguely hollow feeling. In all honesty, it felt like the book was written based on the ABC plot without too much thought given to the actual murderer. This left me a tad disappointed after the final chapters.
Overall a good read, I would definitely recommend to those who love Agatha Christie as much as I do, but not many others. It just doesn’t leave you feeling complete or satisfied.
Moderate: Domestic abuse
