This was a good episode in the series, which has been getting more and more into its stride.
The partnership of Whately and Fox is still not that entertaining (mainly because of Fox's colourless character), but that did not stop this story from being absorbing.
As ever, the plot was convoluted and not very easy to follow. If the phone rings during the programme, you can forget understanding the rest of the story, however brief the call. You must also time any trips to the kitchen or bathroom to the lengthened commercial breaks that ITV so thoughtfully provides nowadays.
The explanation at the end was not great. Come back, Poirot - gather everyone in the library and spell it out, please.
In our family we are still not sure who committed the second murder!
