I've only read two other Agatha Christie stories but I've loved those; this one, on the other hand... Maybe I was just younger and more impressionable back then, but this just felt boring and pointless. The small talk bored me to death and this case in particular wasn't that interesting. I guess I just don't like classic detective books and prefer more of a "somebody died in this room and it could only be one of us" kind of story.
Moderate: Child death, Mental illness, Suicide, Murder, Death of parent, Animal death, and Forced institutionalization
