"See you, I recognize my own weaknesses. It has been said of me that I like to make a case difficult. This solution that you put to me - it is too simple, too easy. I cannot feel that it really happened. And yet, that may be the sheer prejudice on my part."
I had a lot of fun reading this book. I also really enjoyed the mystery aspect of it. I watched the 1978 movie before reading the book, and while I enjoyed both, I wasn't expecting the movie to be so close to the book. (I only accept the 1978 movie, especially since I refuse to watch the 2020 version.) There were a lot of moments while reading where I was like "I remember that!"

My next Spooktober read to finished by now. Tidak se-plot twist buku-buku oma Agatha Christie lainnya. Malah terkesan cliche and I don't like Linnet Ridgeway character either. Tipe-tipe orang kaya yang bisa aja berkhianat ke siapapun; termasuk sahabat sendiri.

Just like with Murder on the Orient Express, I tried SO hard to figure it out - took notes, reread practically the whole book. And it turned out my main theory was RIGHT and it was SO deeply satisfying!!!
