I did like the fact that it was quick, but I did miss the longer format stories. I didn't care for the Poirot voice as it didn't fully gel with what I am use to hearing.

A short story between characters Poirot and Japp. Poirot amazes with his intuitive thinking and Japp is in awe.
Of course after he determines the murderer among a group of costumed and masked party-goers, he refuses to share with Japp until his everybody-present denouement.
A fun fast mystery, solved by a single clue, the ----. Oh, I'd better not say.
Enjoy another classic Christie.
