This has been my least favorite hercule poirot book so far. I thought it was a bit longer and a bit tiring. It was fine but there are better ones.

I thought it was going to be more spies and more like the synopsis. But I’m 34% in and it’s not that all. So no thanks

I love cozy mysteries and was excited for this book. But this book was a chore to get through. There wasn’t a lot of mystery and more just the main character yelling at people. She wasn’t that good at investigating. Sad this book didn’t meet my expectations!

I hate Olivia as a character. Like I don’t care about her. I found this book so dull.
