2.0
Unusually, Poirot finds himself on an international case because four different foreign revolutionaries are trying to take over the world stage. It was a bit of a stretch for me... a bit daft, really. Rather than a global mystery, I prefer Poirot in the smaller, more intimate settings I've been used to up till now.
I still adore Poirot and Hastings but this plot didn't tick all the boxes for me. Let's hope the next book returns on a smaller scale.
It was okay, but I didn't love it.
