So I had my suspicions who was the murderer, and even highlighted a certain phrase that seemed odd early on. Sure enough that was the phrase the murderer revealed as the revealing moment. Great story with lots of twists and turns that can be hard to follow, even misleading on purpose. Should be much more famous than her other stories. Sad that it is not.

O livro tem uma ótima história, e final surpreendente para muitos, mas infelizmente o assassino era óbvio para mim desde o primeiro capítulo... Se não fosse por isso, teria 5 estrelas

4.5 / 5 ⭐
Saat aku bertanya, "Judul seru milik Agatha Cristie mana yang harus kubaca?" kepada teman-teman pembaca, hampir semuanya merekomendasikan judul ini.
Sebetulnya judul ini umum digunakan di dunia mystery-crime, tapi ternyata...

Aku suka cara penulis menggunakan kata ganti orang pertama serba tahu, membuatku bisa masuk ke dalam cerita dengan baik.
Penggambaran set, pada buku ini cukup detil, terdapat ilustrasi pembantu di dalamnya.
Meskipun ada beberapa typo, bahasa terjemahannya mudah dipahami.
Alur yang tersaji sangat rapi, dimulai dari penemuan mayat, wawancara para anggota keluarga, hingga penemuan-penemuan sepele namun penting di sekitar tempat kejadian.

Karena jarang membaca buku terjemahan Inggris, aku sedikit bingung dengan penggunaan panggilan Mr, Mrs, Miss

What is there to say except, now I get why it's considered her masterpiece! Well constructed, strewn with red herrings, vegetable marrow, and little grey cells - Agatha Christie and Poirot at their best!

Spoiler About halfway through I started thinking, "wait, is the book where she...". I then changed my minds half a dozen times. It was brilliant.
