Now apparently (allegedly ?) this book was a "mash-up" of short stories that ended up as a novel, and some people have criticised the book for that very fact. Personally if I hadn't been told this "fact" I wouldn't have guessed, although, it is set out as a series of little mysteries. I quite liked this format as I lived with the progression of the overall storyline, as Hastings and Poirot battled the Big Four through a series of adventures.

Strangely I had never read this book before, I don't know how I missed it, but I really enjoyed it. And it brings me up to date with "Jessica's" challenge.

I think I've written this review back to front as I'm now talking about the book. I am surprised that this is only Hercule Poirot Number 5, it just seemed that Poirot was old (ish) and Hastings was still living in Argentina, which I thought happened late on in their relationship. But that was all just my impression.
All said and done it was a very enjoyable read (and yes I still "see" David Suchet and Hugh Fraser, and always will)
