I finished re-reading it this morning and I have to say I think it is a lot better than peoplke say it is, I can't understand why Agatha Christie didn't think she did a good job with it, I found it very good, I was a bit surprised that Mary Anne Harfield appears in the form of a letter to Katherine near the beginning and then doesn't ever appear again but then it occurred to me that Katherine might have gone Travelling partly to get away from her and any Contreversy caused by The lady Katherine looked after giving her Money and I started to flag when reading the Chapter where The Comte went on his jaunt in the Two-seater and told Hipolyte to lie but I put that down to me but all in all I liked the book alot, It wasn't as good IMHO opinion as some but better than a few IMHO I thoroghly recommend it.
