A strong entry in the Poirot series with great interplay between the detective and Captain Hastings. The cast of characters is large in this one and at times it felt a little hard to stay on top of things, which would be my only real complaint. Otherwise, the London setting and the dynamic of English aristocracy versus American celebrity are enjoyable, and the big reveal is a delight, especially the last couple of pages.
