Great Mystery book with a great twist. Proof that Agatha Christie truely is the Queen of Mystery.

There was no way I wasn't going to enjoy this iconic Agatha Christie story. However, having seen 3 on-screen adaprations of it before, the ending was never going to be a surprise to me.

Despite this being one of Christie's most famous works, I don't regard it as one of her most remarkable plots.

That being said it's a definite 4/5 still. The structure is unique, going through and interviewing suspects one-by-one. I have heard others didn't enjoy this layout, but it appealed to me and my logic brain. Would recommend

I watched the movie and a tv show episode before reading this so the plot twist was not a surprise. But still it was a very interesting read. Watching Poirot decide what to do with this crime was fascinating.

I really enjoyed this book I felt it’s pacing was very good. It never felt like it went too slow. I think we could have learnt a bit more about a few of the characters but other that that I enjoyed it

A good night time read. I read all my detective books generally as bed time books. This is a perfect stress buster.
