This was my first Agatha Christie book and I feel like I expected... more?
I had to push myself to continue reading until I reached about half of the book. To me, it started being painfully slow, but after the
first
murder things started to pick up a faster pace. 
I started to enjoy it towards the end, where the details start being revealed. 
I think it can still be a good read for whoever enjoys mystery and murder stories, just know that it'll start slow! Plus, getting to remember all of the names at the beginning was really confusing. 
I wouldn't say I enjoyed it 100% but some chapters did keep me entertained. 
If someone asked me if I liked it I would say "meeeh" or "it was alright" meaning that I wouldn't re-read it.

Excellent book. I gave it 3.5 stars instead of 4 because it’s problematic in places, because of the time it was written. It’s good if you don’t mind mysteries with monologuing at the end.

Lots of characters to keep track of but very interesting case. 
A bunch of before murder stuff happening, almost wishing something interesting in that regard would happen already when it finally does. 
Laid out really well and good progression.
