I’m starting to get slightly bored of Poirot mysteries, but there’s also something comforting in the expected. What I loved most in this one was the dog character! He reminded me a lot of Olive, so obviously I’m going to be obsessed. I loved the mini POV’s we got from the dog, and the narrator did them excellently. Just thinking about them brings a smile to my face! The plot overall felt a bit contrived and slightly unbelievable, but I’m not reading Christie for strong verisimilitude. I’m just here for a good time!
