Well, that went well! Thank all the gods on Olympus I didn't succumb to the temptation of throwing in the towel, because at the end I realized how much I enjoyed the 17 days I spent reading this Golden-age-esque mystery book filled with endless and inane dialogues between the characters.
And you know what was the cherry on top? It wasn’t the non-stop wrong deductions or the fact that the characters who had received anonymous death threats and were marked for murder just accepted their fate and went along with it.
Oh, no! It was the author’s rehashing of the events over and over and over again. To be fair to the author, the simple-minded reader may not have understood the facts the first couple of times.
In a word, Christie has nothing on the author!

This was a pretty straightforward mystery read with plenty of references to classic murder mystery novels, an appealing premise and a decent enough unraveling at the end, but not much else. As the cast began to exit the book by way of the titular murders, I found myself wishing I had been attached to them or at least thought something of them beyond just their names which were in many cases the extent of their characterization.
