François finished reading Le Train bleu by Agatha Christie
I don't like it when external info allow Poirot to solve the case. As a reader I should have the same info if i'm to have a chance to solve the riddle :-(

This is a very unusual Agatha Christie. None of the usual heroes. It's a kind of spy story, obviously very much influenced by the events of 1968 (it's published in 1970). Not my favorite AC by far, but interesting nonetheless.
