Treated myself to a cheeky little Poirot. I love reading these books, they are short, easy to read and I can never figure the mystery out!

I got close this time, noticed a few clues but yet again the murderer's identity escaped me. Not Poirot though, he got it again.

This book is the first Poirot book in the series. It is told from the point of view of Hastings in a Watson-like narrative. He recounts his visit to stay with a friend during which his friend's elderly step-mother is murdered.

As usual there are red herrings and false turns, and as usual I was tricked by pretty much all of them.

So you beat me again Christie but I'll get it next time!
