Summary
The house guests at Styles seemed perfectly harmless to Captain Hastings: There was his own daughter Judith, an inoffensive ornithologist called Norton, dashing Mr. Allerton, brittle Miss Cole, Doctor Franklin and his fragile wife Barbara, Nurse Craven, Colonel Luttrell and his charming wife Daisy, and the charismatic Boyd-Carrington.
So Hastings was shocked when Poirot declared that one of them was a five-times murderer. True, the ageing detective was crippled with arthritis, but had his deductive instincts finally deserted him?

A Wonderful Finale.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Poirot of course.
What about Hugh Fraser’s performance did you like?
As always excellent.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes it was, but I didn't!
Any additional comments?
Whilst many of the later books in this series were disappointing this was an excellent ending to an overall wonderful series. It was fantastic to have the pairing of Poirot and the gentle Hastings for the last mystery. If you have enjoyed Poirot you will not be disappointed.

Wonderful Poirot!!
have always liked Agatha Christie, but especially have I loved her Belgian detective. This story takes us full circle with Poirot and Hastings, back to Styles the scene of their first adventure together. I won't go into more detail as I don't want to give any spoilers. This is a worthy addition to your Christie library, and I highly recommend this book. Good hunting!

My favorite of all Hercule mysteries
Very nostalgic, I was in tears. The relationship between Hercule and Hastings so warmhearted in this book. I loved, loved loved it. I will listen again sometime with less sadness and more appreciation of very good friends.

as always - remarkable!
another Christie gem - you will enjoy the story as she takes you back in time and you discover that trains of thought were not so very different then as the present... but a sad farewell as this is Msr. Poirots last case,

Like a sack of bricks!
I saved this book for the very last of my Agatha Christie binge listen. My goodness. I almost wish I hadn’t have read this one. Hit hard. I have no more Poirot to read... almost felt like someone real and now, well....

Sad and insightful
The movie adaptation contradicted this book in a reference to the victim in the earlier book, The Mysterious Affair at Styles.
I enjoyed this book!
