A solid Christie mystery, full of bright sun, vivid characters and a spot of murder… though I don’t think this one would have been completely solvable on the first read. I enjoyed the ride and loved the writing which is readable and propulsive.

Like any book written almost a century ago, there are some things causally referenced that are not okay. In addition, I would caution sensitive readers to check out the triggers as I was caught off guard by one.

I thought this one was a bit contrived.

Agatha Christie una sicurezza quando si tratta di gialli avvincenti.

#24 Hercule Poirot - read for a book club 
In this Poirot book, he is on a vacation when a body is found on the beach. Poirot investigates the suspicious death, questioning the various occupants of the hotel on the island. The island is a small island, and the group of characters is relatively small. 
Poirot gives a remarkable assessment of how he determined the guilty party. He notices everything, especially things that he believes to be discrepancies. 
Everyone at the book club really enjoyed this book.
