About this listen
Since the publication of her first novel, in 1920, more than two billion copies of Agatha Christie's books have been sold around the globe. Now, for the first time ever, the guardians of her legacy have approved a brand-new novel featuring Dame Agatha's most beloved creation, Hercule Poirot.
"I'm a dead woman, or I shall be soon.…"
Hercule Poirot's quiet supper in a London coffeehouse is interrupted when a young woman confides to him that she is about to be murdered. She is terrified - but begs Poirot not to find and punish her killer. Once she is dead, she insists, justice will have been done.
Later that night, Poirot learns that three guests at a fashionable London Hotel have been murdered, and a cufflink has been placed in each one’s mouth. Could there be a connection with the frightened woman? While Poirot struggles to put together the bizarre pieces of the puzzle, the murderer prepares another hotel bedroom for a fourth victim....

too convoluted
good narration generally except when he dropped his voice too low, making it difficult to hear.
story tried way too hard to be clever - too many silly clues such as exact phrasing of a sentence or a painting partially painted over...and a lot of repetition as if the writer needed filler or didn't trust the intelligence of the reader.
will not get another of the series.

Not the same
While this is a decently well written mystery, I noticed two things that just weren’t good.
1. There is a lot of “explaining” expressed through characters thinking through, talking through or literally explaining parts of the mystery. But SO much of the book is taken up with pointless repetition in “explaining” the significant points that the story really doesn’t move forward. Even in the end, all the loose ends are still not well wrapped up. I was very disappointed with that aspect.
And 2. Poirot is written convincingly but the narrator of the story is really annoying. He seems to have issues with everything, from his job to every person he interacts with. It was a frustrating story to read because the narrator was so constantly frustrated. And, it seemed, he was kind of stupid, especially for an inspector and friend of Poirot.
Overall, not a great addition to the series.

Poirot wasn’t a jerk like this
Christie’s Poirot is often sarcastic and wry, but this Poirot is frequently downright mean. This author does a much better job getting the character right in her Christmas Poirot story… in this one he’s frequently a jerk.

Audio volume
I enjoyed the story and the performance. However, it is impossible to listen to using earbud headphones because of the volume of the characters. If you turn it up to hear Priorot’s whispers you get blasted a few seconds later.

Sophie Hannah knows how to throw you off the real suspect and keep you guessing right to the very end.

What??!
What a meandering book! Too long, too many clues, trying too hard to make it a clever book
