This time Poirot and Hastings are down in Cornwall, investigating a murder yet to take place. This changes the dynamic as we are treated to various conversations with the would-be victim. The intrigue did not grip me as much as some other of Poirot's adventures but the ending was a highlight, especially the very last paragraph in which the final sticking point is put to rest. Definitely worth a read for anyone who has read Christie's prior works.
