Thrillers lovers hectic abstain. The detective story is quite agreed and is not the main asset of this book. Little wink of the author Agatha Christie I guess, the outcome of the story is staged in Hercule Poirot, with meeting all the players to know the last word of adventure and especially identity the murderer. You will understand, this book does not shine by its originality regarding "setting police stage." However, the author takes us into Italy of the late 19th century with colorful characters fun color, intriguing. Small asides from the author gives an original and fun side to the book that ultimately reads well and offers us a moment of browsing (just under 200 pages) but nice. I had already read "the biscola Five" of the author whose main talent is to ask an atmosphere where we dig easily.
