Christie's strength does not lie with thrillers like this one, and her portrayal of the Chinese characters rivals Mickey Rooney's portrayal of Mr. Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany's for offensiveness, but a completist has to read this novel nonetheless. If for no other reason than that it marks the only appearance of Achille Poirot and the reappearance of Countess Rossakoff.
