★x4 | (B-) 87% | AGES 14+ | It’s freaking Agatha Christie, what more do you want?
| Characters - ★x4 | Interesting as always, good and solid and also realistic.
| Storyline - ★x4 | Not as shocking as I thought it would be? It wasn’t a “GASP.” It was more like a “Oh, what? That’s-that’s so interesting.” A slow realization where you feel dumb and you’re just like…*blink blink*
| Writing - ★x5 | perfect as always. Nobody writes third person omniscient like her.
Should you read this? Yes. It’s amazing. She’s amazing. The way she distracts your mind just the way she wants to. Even in death, she’s still tricking me. God I love books.

Because of the racism (it’s old AF) I had a hard time listening to some of it, but this is the OG locked room mystery, so obviously it’s legendary.

My first Christie - and what an introduction! Well put together and fastpaced murder mystery.
I read it in one sitting and was so encapsulated in the story/universe, that I started watching the BBC adaptation right after finishing the book.
can def reccomend!

Un libro que sin duda te atrapa y te engancha, no es muy largo por lo que no es difícil acabarselo de una sentada, sobre todo porque las ganas de ir viendo cómo avanzan las muertes e intentar ser más listo que la autora (algo realmente complicado) te impiden cerrar el libro salvo fuerza mayor.
Se hacen mil hipótesis y, en mi opinión, hay un par de cosas que no se terminan de hilar, y otras que quizá están dejadas a propios intento a imaginación del lector.
En definitiva, otra gran obra de Agatha Christie que convierte el misterio en una experiencia atrapante que quieres que termine para tener respuesta pero a la vez no quieres que acabe porque la adrenalina va aumentando.
Le quito esa media estrella porque el final, aunque me ha sorprendido en gran parte aunque estaba dentro de mis hipótesis generales, no ha conseguido impactarte realmente.
Aún así, juntándolo todo, la considero una lectura totalmente recomendable.
