Robert M. (shotokanchef) reviewed on 9/30/2011 + 813 more book reviews

This is Poirots last case. And, true to form, he remains the epitome of egotism, acme of arrogance, paragon of private eyes, nonpareil of immodesty, viceroy of vanity, nabob of narcissism, et al. At the outset, Poirot knows that a murder will take place, that the murderer is a serial killer, and above all he knows the identity of the perpetrator. Alas, poor Hastings! Poirot will not disclose anything until the very end: a quite theatrical ending. Curtain is most appropriatein more ways than one.
