One of Christie's most ingenious stories. A tour de force. ("Newsweek") Outrageously satisfying...in this one [Christie] has brought off the bluff to end them all. ("Times Literary Supplement")

5.0 out of 5 stars Poirot's swan song., 3 Feb 2001
By A Customer
If you don't already know it, this is Poirot's last case.

I came across this book after I had read MANY other Poirot's cases and I was familiar with the surroundings. Lady Agatha takes us back to Styles Court, where we first met the little Belgian man with the egg shaped head. And so, the circle is closed.

This is, in my opinion, the most mature of Christie's stories. Poirot faces the ultimate assassin: an individual capable of the perfect crime. He understands his methods, but also finds it impossible to intervene. And so he takes the matter on to his own hands, although knowing that no crime can go unpunished.

Maybe the essence of the book is in the last few lines... Don't miss it.
