8/10

An excellent adaptation. Compelling viewing.

I am a big fan of this episode, they really did save some of the best ones til later on in the series.

Gorgeous camera work, beautifully scenery, the episode is a feast for the eyes, it's visually very appealing. As viewers we are truly given a good dose of the gorgeous English countryside.

It's a little slow to start, but once it opens up it is very engaging, it's very different to many stories, because Poirot is treated very much as an outsider, apart from Ariadne he is pretty much on his own. The revelation of the murderer(s) is expertly done.

Absolutely loved Poirot's discomfort at being in the Summerhayes house, he was not impressed at being there, subtle bits of humour throughout, Ariadne Oliver too has some amusing moments.

It is wonderfully acted from start to finish, Suchet is wonderful as always, he's working with brilliant material. An endless list of talent on offer, Raquel Cassidy, Joe Absolom, Emma Amos, Ruth Gemmell and the excellent Paul Rhys. I have to admit I am always captivated by Mary Stockley, what a sensationally beautiful woman and a true talent. Of course the enchanting Siân Phillips is brilliant too, what a quality actress!

Excellent mystery, 8/10
