A somewhat enjoyable romp featuring a young Scotland Yard detective as part-time narrator (but even he admits he lets Poirot take over too much which is unbelievable and condescending on Poirot's part). It's way too complicated and some of it could have been left out without affecting the plot (SLIGHT SPOILER) (the whole thing about the white vs. blue bowl.) In the end I gave up trying to figure out whodunit, realizing there were dozens of twists still to come and most of the characters weren't telling the truth.
