I think he isn't particularly likeable as a character to me. I know he was very clever and calculating to figure out the murder. But he had quite a big ego, like thinking Poirot would never figure it out. At least the ending was good, but I just don't think he is very likeable. He seems to be all facts and figures and no emotion.

I think Dr. Sheppard is the most evil and diabolical of all the murderers in poirot stories.  Cold, calculating, deceiving and egotistical.  His end was too good for him.

I have just finished re-reading this book yestrerday, Shepherd and Poirot are well-suited because they both have Huge Ego's, It would hyave been good if Hastings had been in the book, I think he would have fallen for Shephards duplicity Hook, Line and sinker and that would have been funny to read, I much prefer Hastings as a sidekick but I now see how inventive having the sidekick as the Murderer was, I found it better second time around even though the surprise wasn't there.

I like him as a Murderer Character Not as a sidekick to Poirot. But he's my Favourite Murderer ever and I'm happy that Poirot let him kill him hisself so that He didn't get Hanged.
