Sharp writing
Honestly better than several full priced titles I bought last month. Great for a quiet evening.

Book synopsis
Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings find themselves embroiled in a high-stakes mystery involving 'The Western Star,' a legendary diamond owned by American film star Mary Marvell. The actress has received anonymous threats warning that the jewel, supposedly the stolen eye of a Chinese god, must be returned to its origin. As the investigation leads them to the ancestral home of Lord and Lady Yardly, who possess a twin diamond known as 'The Star of the East,' Poirot must navigate a web of social rivalries and ancient superstersions to prevent a daring robbery.

Decent but uneven
Verified buyer
The premise is stronger than the execution in a few chapters. Worth a dollar without question.

Some strong chapters
Starts strong and loses some steam near the end. I would read another by this author.
