Not the best Agatha Christie novel i've read. Neither the story nor the characters where that compelling, and the shifting of narration between first-person POV and omniscient narrator was a bit awkward. It's still a good book tho, but not really great, and the mystery doesn't have that genius that usually mark her novel.
Well, no author can be perfect, and even tho it was kinda disappointing, it still remains a fun read. Agatha christie too wrote some less good books, but there's so much great one with her it's barely noticeable.

A Poirot installment in which Agatha Christie might just be making fun of her own convoluted plots.

Another Christie classic. This one takes us into the intriguing spy games of the 1960s.
A murdered man. A blind woman. A young secretary. And 4 mysterious clocks left behind. How do they all fit together? Leave to the masterful Agatha Christie to weave a plot that leaves you guessing, but makes sense in the end. Our old friend Hercule Poirot is there, twirling his mustaches and drinking hot chocolates. He is pompous, but I love him for some unexplainable reason. And Colin, marine biologist / investigator, is a likable character--wish he was around for more.
Poirot may be old, but the guy is still at the top of his game. #34 in the series, and still enjoyable.
