Taken at the Flood
"[3]
An unnamed reviewer in the Toronto Daily Star of 10
April 1948 said, "Hercule Poirot, whose eggshaped cranium
is crammed with lively gray cells, proves himself a
bit of a mug before he sorts out all the details of [Enoch
Arden's] death and other even more baffling mysteries.
But he does it with all the acumen that has endeared him
to Agatha Christie fans. Fantastic and topping."[4]
Robert Barnard: "Elderly man married to a glamorous
nitwit of dubious social background is a common plotelement
in Christie. Here she is widowed (in an airraid
this is one of the few Christies anchored to an
actual time), and burdened by financially insatiable relatives,
both of blood and in-law. But who exactly is
dead, and who isn't? And who is what they seem, and
who isn't? Compulsive reworking of Tennysonian and
Christiean themes, and pretty high up in the range of classic
titles. "[5]
