I really did like it, up until the next to last chapter when M. Overall, I would give this book a B+! Read more This perhaps wasn't Agatha Christie's best book in my opinion, but in typical Agatha Christie style I was completely in the dark when it came to revealing the 'who-done-it' moment in the story. In my opinion, this was certainly an enjoyable read for me, but still incredibly intricate and confusing in parts. But Monsieur Poirot suspects that the answer is going to be a killer.Over the past several years, I've actually read a total of eight of Agatha Christie's books - this is the fourth book that I have read in her Hercule Poirot Series. So, the question is: Just what's her secret? No one's talking. What's more: No one knows where she may have gone, nor does anyone seem to care that she's missing.
In all his years, Monsieur Poirot has never encountered such an unusual child.The mystery becomes even darker and more complicated when he finds out that the odd little duck has suddenly flown the proverbial coop. Yet it's her vague confession to a murder she's not even entirely sure she committed that really throws the little Belgian detective for a loop. In fact, everything about her - from her tousled appearance to her perplexed stare - seems too strange downright abnormal to him. From the moment he meets her, the young girl strikes Hercule Poirot as peculiar.
