I read this because one of my favorite authors (Connie Willis) makes several references in her books to Agatha Christie. It was a quick, interesting book. I found it a little hard to get into at the beginning because there were so many characters that I could barely keep them straight but I forged on anyway figuring I'd catch up as needed. I was right; the book keeps you up to speed if you just press forward. It was a classic murder mystery type of book-which is always fun to throw in every now and again.
