Review:
An Argentinian visitor to London is found murdered, reminding detective Hercule Poirot and his assistant Captain Arthur Hastings that although life is short there is no reason that it must always be lonely.

I have to admit that this fic completely took me by surprise. It was the first of its fandom that I’d read and it went quite a ways to making me the Poirot/Hastings fan I am today. Excellently written and cleverly plotted, Android does a fantastic job not only with the characters but also with making the pairing seem plausible and, almost, inevitable.

While I’m hesitant to give away any of the plot, I will say that the case involved is as intriguing and emotionally charged as the best (or worst, depending on your point of view) of Poirot’s cases. Thankfully, Poirot and Hastings have each other (and Miss Lemon and Inspector Japp) to get them through the ordeal and into each other’s arms.
