Review
This was an interesting tale of Poirot. I’m used to the more typical mysteries, and this felt more like a thriller than a mystery. The majority of the story has Poirot and Hasting trying to uncover the identity of a mysterious master of disguises.
The story is fast paced, the plot is convincing, and the characters are entertaining. Poirot manages to always pull himself out of danger with some masterful trick.
While it was a departure from what I normally read from Christie, I found myself enjoying it very much. It may not suit the taste of all readers, as some of the language is old fashioned and modern readers may have a bit of trouble. I’ve found though, that if you stick with it, soon enough it all falls into place and the language differences disappear.
This would definitely fall on my recommend list for all you mystery fans out there, particularly fans of the classic authors such as Ms. Christie. Grab a copy, give it a read, and drop by and let us know what you thought.

So verschrieen Gaming auch sein mag, so ist experimentell bewiesen worden, dass
Gaming, ein dem Alter des Spielers angemessenes Game
vorausgesetzt, förderlich für die Stressbewältigungskapazität des
Spielenden sein kann. Beim Zocken lernt der Gamer ohne Stress schnell zu Entscheiden und seine Prioritäten neu zu setzen. Einige
Videospiele vermitteln überdies auch Basics über Wirtschaftlichkeit
und fördern die kognitiven Fähigkeiten. Auch
die verpönten Multiplayer-Spiele können doch häufig den vorgeschobenen Effekt des Abdriftens in eine falsche Realität}
invertieren. Der Spieler kann wohl auch vielen Freaks begegnen, doch findet der Gamer manchmal exakt in seinem Favoriten Gleichgesinnte.
Alles in allem: das Zocken ist hammer! Gaming ist Kunst.
