One thing that detracts from the novel and Christie's writing is the racist opinions of many of her characters. This is a book written in the 30s when such views were more outwardly prevalent and it always hurts my heart to see them in a novel. So a word of warning in that regard.

I spent such a long time sitting there finding clues mapping out suspects and I knew the golden rule of all mysteries and YETTTTT. Next time though next time I will prevail.

La storia e la risoluzione sono buone, ma avevo già compreso chi sarebbero stati i colpevoli ancora prima del primo omicidio, cosa che potrebbe essere dovuta a dei vaghi ricordi di una passata lettura di quest'opera o visione di un film che ne era stato tratto. Ciò nonostante, l'autrice non è riuscita a distogliere particolarmente i miei sospetti, come di solito è capace, e ciò mi ha un po' deluso.
Quello che non avevo pensato era il come avere compiuto il loro piano nei dettagli, e >spoiler>le risoluzioni dei crimini secondari , con l'autrice aveva tentato di intorpidire le acque.
Una cosa che non mi è piaciuto, che avevo già visto fare all'autrice nel libro Miss Marple nei Caraibi, sono dei commenti che rasentano il razzismo, ma penso che purtroppo ciò sia comprensibile, considerando l'epoca in cui è vissuta.
