This was a good mystery, but definitely did not live up to “And Then There Were None”. I wanted to start reading about Hercule Poirot from the first in the series, and I'm definitely not disappointed. I like Poirot a lot. He's hyperactive and intuitive. But there was still the extreme suspense missing. This story was a little more slow-moving, I think because Hastings really got on my nerves. I just don't like him, not even a little bit.
Overall, this was a clever story that tied up very nicely at the end, even after everyone was suspected in some way or another.
