A very entertaining book, as usual. And as usual, I did not expect it to end like that at all.

This has some satisfying twists and turns but definitely not as complicated as her other mysteries. So, therefore not as much fun for me!
A nurse named Amy is the narrator in this one and her telling the story felt forced to me, but did get better when Poirot arrived.

For 90% of the book I thought this was one of the very best Agatha Christie novels. It's brilliantly written and you gradually learn more about the characters as the plot develops and - crucially - their relationships with one another.
The big reveal is exceedingly clever. But the way the murder was executed was a little far fetched (would have required too much luck) and the fact that the victim did not realise the nature of the murderer earlier just felt implausible to me.
Nonetheless, it really was a rivetting read
