I have recently read the book again and watched this programme again. The episode is quite faithful to the book with just a few exceptions. We have to bear in mind that while the short stories have to be padded out to make a one hour episode, the novels have to be reduced to make a 2 hour episode ( with adverts )
All the actors are excellent and this time Hastings is the star. The ending is only a shock if you haven't read the book. If you don't know the ending you will really need to concentrate to guess it.
A strange thing is that the actor who plays the villain in this last Poirot to be published also plays the hero in the last Marple book to be published. That's the coincidence
