Mysteries are only as good as the characters that are met along the path to the truth. Hercule Poirot is such a funny detective character: his lines always make me smile. This book also has rich side characters with unique qualities and eccentricities. The reveal is satisfying, but honestly the best part of this book was hanging out in the small town King's Abbott with a bunch of nosy British townfolk. This qualifies as a cozy murder mystery for sure.

No detail too small for this murder mystery. Great twist and fun characters!

This is definitely one of my favorite Agatha Christie books I’ve read. The beginning story and middle are good but the ending is what really makes it 5 stars. The ending makes you question everything that has been said in the story.

Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie, Lady Mallowan, DBE (née Miller) first of her name, mother of dragons, what a tangled web we weave. This is very polished writing, I could picture every scene like a play and the characters each had their own flair and style. Everything was perfect but I had to dock a star because I do not condone murder
