Oh, how I agree with Anna-lena Berg! I really love David Suchet as Hercule Poirot, but the new series is not as good as I expected. Third Girl : David Baker should really be the bad guy - I was totally shocked that they changed the story. The same thing with Appointemnt with Death - very dissapointing. Mrs. MacGuinty is ok and Cat among the pidgeons too.

In the book Poirot doesn't appear till the last third of the book and the first murder is a shooting, so the story has been tweaked to bring Hercule into the story much earlier as a friend of one of the School mistresses. The murder weapon is now a javeline (macabre or what) and one of the characters has been removed from the story altogether.
It was written by Mark Gattiss of LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN fame and his quirky and dark mind has made this into a great film.
The book is so complex that it's hard to keep up with the characters and situations but this has simplified it all and made it stronger than the book in my opinion.
NOT TO BE MISSED.
