Easy, quick read. Reads a bit different than other Agatha Christie novels. This was a play she wrote that was then adapted into a novel. It makes it feel a bit off.

I enjoyed the plot, which is from the Christie play of the same name, but did not enjoy the novelisation of Osbourne. It was a bit jarring to read as it didn’t feel like Christie’s Poirot. I found the characterisations a bit off.

This is fucking AWFUL. I don’t know if it’s because it doesn’t adapt well to book (being a stage play first) or if the author who isn’t Christie just can’t write Poirot. Maybe both. Don’t bother picking this one up.
