This was sooo good! The way all those little details, truths and lies come together was ingenious. I especially enjoyed the extremely subtle hints that pointed towards the murderer. 
I guessed who it was around the 70% mark
when Caroline calls her brother weak and a few minutes later Poirot describes the murderer as having "a strain of weakness—deep down". But to be fair I had read beforehand that the book ends with quite a plot twist and was therefore looking out for these kinds of hints. And I was nevertheless amazed that I had been correct.

PHEW. A fantastic read. Didn't even guess the killer at all and was pleasantly surprised by how the story went. Can see why this is one of her more popular reads. Very highly recommended if you haven't read it and are a Christie/crime fan.

A great mystery with an unexpected plot twist. I accidentaly spoiled the book for myself about half way through by flipping through the essay at the end of the book, but it was still a very enjoyable read and very interesting to see how it all folds out and to catch all the different hints the author drops.
