Reviews

[Judy · Rating 2 out of 5]

Did not like. It's all talk, talk, talk. Very little action. The people are insufferable, the situation is ridiculous, and Poirot seems like a different character. His arrogance is huge and it makes him extremely unlikable. As are all the other characters in the book. The solution comes out of thin air, something that no one could have known and there is an interminable discussion of an opened vs. closed door, which is also very boring.
