This is one of those Poirot mysteries where all possible suspects are introduced straight away (in fact, they're all passengers on the same boat, so the murderer's got to be one of them). True to Christie, the murderer isn't revealed until the very end - after more bodies and more crimes. Keeping an eye out for the film that'll be released later this year.

This book was slow at the start but overtime the pace picked up quite well. The story flows smoothly and I don't think I expected the later events. Also, that ending... so good.shreya_bajaj's review against another edition

This novel is simply genius. To be honest, I had already predicted the global concept behind the ending, but the constant and energetic development of the story inevitably pushed the reader to doubt every one of the personal theories contemplated during the reading, so I had, obviously, been cleverly distracted from it.
The characters were colorful and likewise was the scene, new hints every chapter, whether hidden or plain, that of course were important to understand the true reconstruction of the crime.
I liked it a lot. It’s my first novel from Agatha Christie but I’ll definitely lurk further into her writing, given this story had me glued to its pages from start (first couple of chapters excluded) to finish.
(I had to read this book for my translation course at uni but I’m happy this obligation did not gravate on the overall experience of this book.)
