Christie has several times written a novel about a murder that took place years and years before the investigation, with varying degrees of success. This is one of her more successful attempts, perhaps a little on the  formalistic side, but deeply described and felt. Poirot is not much of a presence, and perhaps this is why the attempt is lesser known than some of her other works. It isn't deserved. This one's flawlessly crafted and turned.
