I found the style a bit repetitive, though being new to this genre, that just may be necessary to tell the story. The point of view character, Dr. Shepherd, I thought was wonderful, although the detective was less pleasant. Overall, just a really fun read. I'll definitely check out more Christie novels (but maybe not more Hercule Pierot).

The mystery features a strong cast, all with their own secrets and skeletons to hide. Unraveling each one in turn is so much fun that I genuinely felt sad when it was all over. My favorite Poirot so far!

The story is well written and I can see why it is lauded as the best of her works. I had no idea right up until the reveal who the killer was despite the many leads and clues.
