THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES (Agatha Christie) - February 18/17

Big ol' nope for this one. I like the character of Poirot but the book's relentless emphasis on his investigation grows increasingly interminable and intolerable. Seriously, I feel like you could've boiled this whole thing down to a five page short story without losing any "character development" (of which there's virtually none). It's gonna be a while before I tackle another Poirot story, that's for sure. * out of ****
