I much more prefere the Miss Marpel novels, however. Hercule Poirot is intendet to come across as arrogant, but in some cases it's simply annoying.
Contrary to other Agatha Christie books I almost immediatly knew, who the murderer was.
Spoiler
although, I so very much hoped that Jackie would somehow be innocentAlso this story had to many characters and some of them didn't feel necessary to the plot at all.
Worst of all is the constant racism expressed by some of the characters, which really ruins some chapters and the reading experience. Hopefully newer editions edit it out, as it is in no way important the the storyline and only ruins the book.
I was looking forward to seeing the new movie, until I saw that Armie Hammer was going to be in it, so now I'll watch the older film version, which also looks amazing.
