** 2 stars
This book started out so strong for me and just tickled this long-time Agatha Christie fan. I haven't read (or re-read, really) Christie in a long time but I devoured all her books as a teenager. Anyway, this book initially struck just about all the elements but eventually went a little sideways.
There was some introspection/psychological stuff with Poirot's "helper" that seemed anachronistic. Also, the book got pretty talky and the mystery was complicated in a goofy way, not a twisty/clever way. So, it was just okay as far as I'm concerned.
