Third Girl


This book was pretty interesting. It put our beloved Poirot in a different light. How vain that he is came out and it was funny to read. When a girl, Norma came to Poirot for help and told him she thought she murdered someone. He was willing to help. But one look and she said that he was too old no-one told me you were so old. Threw Poirot for a loop.
His character was kept through the story which was nice. And it was nice to see another character Ariadne Oliver come back for another go at it. While Ariadne was trying to help. Poirot always seem to want to solve without Ariadne. Of course the banter was pretty good between them. Even when Miss Oliver explained what a Third Girl was.

We have a girl that thought she committed murder. Poirot on the hunt to help and clear up that he wasn't that old. And someone who would love and take care of Norma at the end. Plus sneaky people who weren't Norma's family to take what she had.

Hercule Poirot solves not 1 murder but 2. We meet Miss Lemon, Poirot's secretary. And read how he convinces Norma why she thought to be crazy. Norma appears crazy, or think crazy, and possibly is crazy.As he explains the general may be ordinary for everyday people. But it something to get help in.
