I've been reading these new Poirot stories in all the wrong order... but it doesn't seem to matter. Closed Casket,/I> is another great outing for the little Belgian detective, and I enjoyed it all the more because, this time, he has that aura of knowing it all, of being able to work it all out, while lesser mortals (including the reader) floundered. The story was all the more clever because (careful: no spoilers here) the solution hinged on one incontrovertible fact - just one, when there are - or so it seems - dozens floating about. Sophie Hannah includes some of her usual dry humour, and parts at the beginning of the story border on being 'horror'. It's quite a tour de force, and I thoroughly recommend it.
