Feminist, 31 December 2006
Author: dbdumonteil

Interesting Poirot episode although the plot is a bit confused ,not one of Christie's best .But the essential lies in the depiction of those years just before WW2 (there are hints at Hitler and Musolini),and the Cambridge milieu .The story is a feminist one,cause the victim is here a misogynist whose ward,Violet ,abetted by her squeeze,Andrew-who delivers a feminist speech at the Cambridge university- does not want to be only a housewife .

As always, Japp gets the wrong man,But Poirot won't get fooled.Even if the solution is rather disappointing,the depiction of the Cambridge intellectual milieu of the thirties makes it all worthwhile.
