I hope to read more of Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle to eventually figure out that difference that's been at the back of my mind. Or it could be that Poirot's approach is different from Sherlock Holmes, where the latter places a bigger emphasis upon forensics. I just want to just keep flicking the pages till I find the solution revealed rather than having my own independent theory. It could be that I'm reading the book too fast and not taking my time to make sense of the mystery all over.

In any case, Poirot solves the case and does so with his usual brisk pace, and while the ending was superb and totally unexpected I still struggle to fully make sense of methodology or approach he used. My favourite character would have to be Caroline due to this!
