pickI could not help but hear the voice of Peter Dinklage while I read it. 🙈 Definitely a good start into monthly reading of Poirot novels. I like the way Hastings was introduce with a story that concerne his life.
Not my favorite Christie but fun to revisit as she invents Poirot and improves her writing.
I listened to the audiobook read by Richard Armitage who did a superb job.

pickOh my God, how good is Peter Dinklage as Hercule Poirot? His way of crying „Hastings!“ is perfect. This is definitely the best adaption ever.

pickA painter‘s death by poison, a crumbling marriage & five distinct suspects with much to gain or lose.
I'm so amazed by Christie‘s exploration of art as a mirror of the soul. Poirot‘s methodical unraveling of the truth feels almost poetic, his pursuit as much about healing the wounds of the past as it is about justice. Highlight is the extraordinary ending - how justice isn‘t confined to the courtroom but resonates on a profoundly human level. ♥️
pickThis was pretty cool- especially the way the truth is uncovered toward the end - it wasn‘t what you‘d expect in a Poirot.
pickShort Review: This was an odd Poirot book for me, he doesn't appear for the first few chapters & when he does he seems to be more of a side character to Katherine Grey. The mystery itself was textbook Christie but it just didn't seem to work as well as some of her other books. I think the problem for me is that I just didn't like Katherine Grey. Don't know why, just didn't. 3.5🌟
TWs: racism/xenophobia, internalised misogyny.

In the hall she passed two young people whose life together was just beginning.
The chauffeur held open the door of the car. Lady Dittisham got in and the chauffeur wrapped the fur rug round her knees.
