Once politics enters the scene, it's not as interesting for me, but in the case of Poirot, it doesn't bother me that much. When you have a dead person who was pretty nasty, you almost feel like they deserved it. The investigation is quick and well-done, but still, you can't shake off the feeling that this is one of the less captivating episodes. At least it's entertaining in places.
