I was Poirot Junior trying to solve this but that f****r doesn’t give anything away so I was shocked by the end. I’m frustrated that it was both obvious and not at all what I thought. I’m also frustrated that there was one big clue that Poirot found that he never explains how he uncovered it. I don’t think it would have led me to guess the culprits any better but it would have provided more intrigue. I really enjoyed Poirot’s character this time around. There were many clues to make your guesses with but I’m not yet a “dandified Belgian” like Poirot. Not cool, Agatha.
