Maybe I've read too many of Christie's books, so I sort of saw the culprit halfway through when the first few major clues were dropped. Still, it was a short, fun read, and I really liked Poirot's deduction of the possible murderer's psychology, I think that was one thing I did not really catch when I guessed the murderer.

Agatha, you've done it again. I was WAY off on this one. I guessed 3 times and was wrong for all of them. But not to worry, my friend Poirot was right on target, as usual. I feel a bit like Hastings, in the dark all of the time.

This one involves Poirot and Hastings coming to the case after the crime occurs. A letter delay, the criminal almost off without punishment, until Poirot catches the scent. And like the dog in the book, he doesn't let go.

Good plot (as usual) and some fun twists and turns. 3 stars.
