This was a great, fun, and twisty read.
I loved the sass between both poirot and Giraud and the teasing with Hastings. The twist after twist after twist was fun, and with all my guesses of whodunit, I possibly guessed the murderer at some point but was thrown off several times and ended up being shocked and satisfied by the ending.

“Is he not a splendid fellow? I call him Giraud!”

Why did this take me so long to pick up and start reading?!? This was so good

Desperately need this to be made into a film/series

Woah

Im a big fan of all the agatha christie inspired games, and I remember playing a pc game with my mum when I was much younger, only vaguely remembering the isolated and fast-paced disappearance of the characters. I did not remember the twist at all, and having only recently gotten into books, I read this in 2 days. Definitely keeps you guessing, but never 100% sure. I can see myself rereading, but first, I'm going to gather some more of her works!

A collection of short stories with Poirot and Hastings at the helm.

This is my first time reading a short story collection and I don't think they're for me, each story was quite interesting but with the knowledge it's going to be solved in a few pages just lead to me not being as invested in the story.

Would be good for a commuter reading in short bursts, or if you're trying to get out of the “one more chapter” cycle before bed
