Customer Reviews
Agatha mystery
I have read many of the Poroit mysteries and this one seems the most complex and interesting. Fun to read one with complexities.
Crazy Good!
This novel is a wonderful ride, with a suitable number of red herrings that keep you guessing and guessing. M. Poirot is himself brilliant and it is great fun to be on his shoulder as he solves this murder.
Note: This book does contain ethnic, cultural and gender references that were thought appropriate in that time period. They are really quite startling to read on the page.
