Not the traditional Poirot or detective novel, this book reads more like an adventure/romance, and is absolutely brilliant if it wasn't for 2 key plot points - 1) Why Brown gave in and confessed his identity at the end; he could've gotten away if he just kept his usual composure, and 2) Tommy noticing foul play re: the wire, simply from how the name was signed ... Nontheless a great read - Highly recommend!
