The generation gap is a big theme in this one, and it is interesting to see this view of the era.
similar plot to ABC

andyshute's review against another edition
4.0
I really rate this as a Poirot book - the plot is intriguing and tonally different to most of the others with a central mystery which may not have even occurred. It's all irksome to our favourite egg-headed detective who makes his presence felt strongly throughout. Plus, Ariadne is always a pleasure.
I think the 'period details' put a lot of people off (they are rather in your face) but Poirot in the bohemian swinging sixties is a sight to behold and the drugs, artists, clothes and more are in for a drubbing from Christie.
It feels more detailed and longer than some of the others and HP holds out a little too long but it's a satisfying and logical conclusion. I almost had this one, having figured out the majority but getting some of the details wrong. Still, I'm counting it as one to me, making that Andy 2, Christie 20 (based on the books I've currently read).
