Great Christie short story

Love Poirot and this is an excellent short story by Christie that illustrates both the detective’s processes as well as a failure. Narration is a bit disappointing as one expects to hear a voice similar to David Suchet’s. This narrator gives Poirot a somewhat higher register which is a bit jarring and distracting.
