This is one of the racist ones. Overtly.
The mystery was interesting enough but not anything special.

Of course I had no idea who did it. Probably one of my favorite mysteries by Christie.
However, it had some racist views that were probably common at the time in 1950's England but that are not acceptable. I don't know if Christie wrote her own feelings or just as her characters would be in that setting but either way I was uncomfortable. Usually her books just have the English characters not liking "foreigners" but as there were African and Asian characters at the hostel there were more specific remarks in this novel based upon both race and nationality.
