The intense interest aroused in the public by what was known at the time as “The Styles Case” has now somewhat subsided.

so-soI enjoyed the many vignettes where Poirot is outwitted by the Big Four, even while discovering their identities. I‘m alway game for deception in the form of espionage and Hastings was back to narrate the case, thus adding to my enjoyment. But something was missing from this case, mon ami. It‘s a mystery to me how Christie just settled for this ending.
pickThemes: Classic Agatha Christie Murder mystery, Family drama, Christmas-ish
A delightful Poirot book, I enjoyed all the twists and turns that Agatha sends us on. I wish there was more Christmas in it, but oh well. Checking off the “Locked Room” square on my #christmascrimechallenge board hosted by @RaeLovesToRead and @Ruthiella
pickI'm really enjoying Tommy & Tuppence! I was surprised by the long time gap from their first adventure but glad they are still happily married, although a bit bored. The detective agency was such a fun way for them to spend their time & great for the short story format here. I admit, most of the references to famous detectives went over my head as I'm not familiar with most of them. But it didn't hinder my understanding or enjoyment

pickThis is a weak pick. I enjoyed the main characters, especially Anthony, Virginia and Inspector Battle, along with their evolving relationships, but the storyline felt a bit off at times; occasionally straying into the realm of the implausible. The book had enough to keep me amused, but may not be satisfactory for those seeking a more tightly woven mystery.

“Unsolved mysteries.”
Raymond West blew out a cloud of smoke and repeated the words with a kind of deliberate self-conscious pleasure.

so-soThis isn't my favorite Poirot mystery, but it might be my favorite portrayal of the friendship between Poirot and Mrs. Oliver. I enjoyed the reflections on aging and the many conversations between long acquaintances that feel more at the center of the novel than the mystery itself, which isn't overly complicated (although some (in my opinion unnecessary) complexities are layered on top of the solution).
