" it is much maligned for its melodrama and implausibility" I can certainly agree with that.

And I feel it does great harm to the character of Hercule Poirot too. Even if it does have "one of the best portrayals of the relationship between Poirot and Hastings"

I still wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
