"Fans hoping to beat Poirot to the mind-bogglingly ingenious solution are well-advised to concede the competition in advance." —Kirkus Review

Not a bad mystery but not Hercule Poirot

The mystery is okay with fairly good twists. At the same time, Poirot is too bland and feels barely there. I'd have enjoyed it better if it hadn't been promoted as a Poirot mystery.

Narrator is doing an excellent job however.
