    • 4/5
      Very short so it’s all setup & explanation of what really happened but nevertheless enjoyable.
    • 3/5
      Poirot is sent to Marsdon Manor by an insurance company to investigate the death of Mr Maltravers, who had recently taken out a life insurance policy with them.
      Another enjoyable short mystery
    • 3/5
      The ending wasn't as good as Christie usually produces but she makes everything seem so effortless and she makes it just so easy to get lost in her work. I enjoyed the book quite a bit but am only giving three stars because the plotting could have been better and she didn't give enough clues re: the ending to make it solveable.
