This was another fun installment of the Hercule Poirot series, though still not my favorite. (So far, I like the books I've read in the middle of the series best.) Hastings was a fun character to use as the reader's filter for events, though of course he jumps to way too many conclusions. (Even I could tell that he was wrong most of the time.) I didn't like the era's misogyny—if you want to make it so that "a man must have dug the grave" then give me proof and presume that it was a man's work because women are too delicate. But in general, this was a fun (if dated) mystery story.
