Oh my... This one was a little different. If I can be honest, it felt like a deux ex machina since the end doesn't really make sense like in other books, but I have to admit that I still enjoyed it. Here we focus on Sir Charles Cartwright and Mr Satterthwaite trying to resolve the crime while having the help of the beautiful "Egg" and consultation from Hercule Poirot himself. Watching the characters try to resolve the crime was a little weird but I still enjoyed it, though I would have prefer more Poirot participation. Over all, a good book but not one of Christie's best.
