Poirot books are like a cup of hot tea on a blustery evening-always short and sweet and just mysterious enough to whet my mystery appetite. This case follows Nick Buckley who has been plagued with a series of mysterious accidents at her family home. Poirot and Hastings must work quickly to figure out who is at fault and catch the culprit before anyone gets hurt! Poirot struggles a bit with figuring this one out and it's got a lot of twists and turns.

Book fifteen in my personal read through of Agatha Christie in publication order! The mystery was especially good and hard to predict in this one. If the characters were more likeable it might have been in the running to be one of my all time favorites. Though I did find Hastings more tolerable than usual in this one!

Good mistery,loved Poirot and Hastings banter and friendship. Little warning for slight misogony and one of comment of antisemitism
