It was sort of cheesy at times but as always Agatha Christie provides great page turners.
Another great book by Dame Agatha. This is a one off and doesn't include any of her regular sleuths. There's a lot of twists and turns, and oh the family drama...

I love me an Agatha Christie with a limited cast of characters even though parts of this one were a bit strange … I LOVED Hester!

Excellent voice actor. Enjoyed the exploration of each characters’ psychology and motives. I had a hard time picking up on subtle clues, but I liked the hints of romance between characters by the end.
-¡Justicia! - dijo ella, echándole la palabra a la cara.
- No comprendo. - repitió él.
- ¡Venga a hablar de justicia! ¿Qué le importa ahora a Jacko? Jacko no importa ya. ¡Somos nosotros los que importamos!
- ¿Qué quiere usted decir?
- No es el culpable el que importa. Son los inocentes.

An enjoyable read! I found the mystery interesting, the characters fun, and the lack of a main detective surprisingly refreshing, even though the classic Christie final act reveal still took place. All the classic hallmarks of her work present, and yet a very fun story. Would recommend.
