5.0 out of 5 stars Short but Drama Filled

The book starts of slow for a short story but picks up quite quicklu towards the end. Poirot seems to have no clues as to who the killer is for most of the book until the final paragraphs. It makes for a quick interesting read. Quite captivating.

The story is ok but it is distracting to deal with the many errors, which I assume were introduced by scanning and then not doing any proofreading and correcting.

Agath Christie was a gifted writer, with many twistes and turnes in her stories.

I have read every story she ever wrote many times never tireing of the way she presented the facts only to cause the reader to thing in a different direction.

Luckily for her nephew the day she gave him the right to one of her books. If you are ever in London you must see the stage play. Im sure he has acquired many hundrads of pounds from her gift.
