Bunson, Matthew (2000). The Complete Christie: An Agatha Christie Encyclopedia. Gallery. p.421. ISBN 978-0671028312. No era consciente de que Agatha tuviera este tipo de historias dentro de su extensa obra y la verdad es que ha sido un grato descubrimiento.

As the actors move about, the production lighting casts annoying shadows on the walls. Further, the actors tend to overact, with accompanying facial mannerisms that are exaggerated. I found the Bundle Brent character to be particularly irritating, as she darts and flutters around, in a flippant sort of way.
