I may have enjoyed \u00a0this even more than its merits deserved after my problems with \u00a0the tenth series, but this is what Poirot is\u00a0<em>supposed\u00a0<\/em>to be. The program has Poirot traversing the English country side in search behind the truth about two photographs which could save the life of a man on a death row. There are plenty of twists and turns, with sensational cinematography and competent acting from the supporting cast. This episode was a very strong and enjoyable adaptation of Christie&#8217;s story.<\/p>\n<p>Rating: 4.25 out of 5.0<\/p>\n<p><em>This post contains affiliate links, which means that items purchased from these links may result in a commission being paid to the author of this post at no extra cost to the purchaser.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I<\/em>f<em>\u00a0you enjoyed this post, you can have new posts about Detective stories and the golden age of radio and television delivered\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B004U8SET2\/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=adamsblog03-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B004U8SET2\">automatically to your Kindle<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a rocky tenth series, the eleventh series of Poirot\u00a0kicked off with\u00a0Mrs. McGinty&#8217;s dead. \u00a0A man is convicted of murdering his landlady in what seems like a clear cut case.
