I started reading this book in physical form and then switched to audio and I have to say that I enjoyed the audio version so much more!

If you haven’t read the book, in a nutshell, 10 people are called to Soldier Island by someone named U. N. Owen. Then they are murdered one by one but no one knows who the murderer is.

A great who dunnit with a surprising ending. I was completely shocked by who the murderer turned out to be!

Absolutely amazing. I had no idea who it was beginning to end. The result shocked me and gave me goosebumps.

Unputdownable! Admittedly though, I was confused/baffled/pondering for most of the book... who was the murderer? I had my suspicions but the author did a good job of concealing the truth with a lot of twists and misleading events. Very nice. 4 stars.

There is a reason this is known as one of Christie's finest works. Utterly gripping and wholly entertaining, I loved it a lot. The mystery was great, pacing was perfect and writing emaculate. It was creepy and dark at times which was really lovely tbh.

I loved the premise of the story and I was hooked from the first page. The stucturing and story telling technique which Christie adapts adds to the overall effect of the book. Why I did not rate 5 stars?? Well because as much as I loved the story, I did guess the culprit from an early stage. Also the end reveal was spectacular no doubt but a tad bit unbelievable for me. Like there were small small details which kept bothering me.

Overall an amazing mystery and a must read for a good time.
