Je crois j’ai pas assez de concentration pour apprécier ce genre de livres à leur juste valeur, moi j’oublie ce qui a été dit à la page d’avant donc je peux pas jouer à « qui l’a fait ? » du coup je reste spectatrice de loin et je perds toute une partie de l’intérêt :(

Amazing storytelling with a fun little diagram to help visualize the scene. Each chapter serves its purpose in progressing the story and really getting you to think about what could motivate the murderer. It is clever and has you second guessing all interactions you see from the characters.

Part of me found the ending a little bit underwhelming, but I think it was more that certain clues were only added very late into the game or it just came about to Poirot as he's giving his final assessment on the mystery.

Overall I can see why this is such a beloved story, and I had a great time reading it!
