- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

A very captivating mystery, told in a very different way than her usual storytelling method. Poirot didn’t even show up until at least halfway through (excluding the prologue). I was intrigued and enjoyed myself a lot. Though it could definitely do without the last chapter.
All that was very dampened by the final chapter. L It’s a terrible resolution to the storyline of the most interesting character arc for me, and quite frankly a little backward and horrifying. Do since people really think that way? Better the monster you know than anything else?? Horrifying.
Enjoyment: 4
Emotional impact: 3
Educational value: 3

The main reason for the low rating was is the amount of misogyny in this and how much it annoyed me as a 'modern' reader. It was a good mystery though, didn't figure out who did it until Poirot revealed it at the end.

Absolute trash. There is too much wrong with this book and I'm too angry to write about it all, just to give you a taste of the kind of bullshit you can expect : A jealous man tries to MURDER his ex-fiance because she wants to marry someone else and somehow dear Agatha excuses this behaviour as him being in a silly goofy mood and it's her fault for wanting to leave him in the first place, oh and ofc she gets back with him because silly women don't actually know what they want.
