I read this in high school, and loved it then, and I really enjoyed the reread too! Knowing what happened at the end already took a little bit of the enjoyment out for me, but Agatha Christie writes a great mystery where not a word is wasted. I love how all of the threads come together at the end, and this is one of my favorite endings of her books since it’s a little different than the other ones. It’s a classic mystery for a reason!

I really enjoyed the twists and turns the story took. I loved the solution to the mystery, which I didn't see coming - but I found the ultimate fate of the culprit disappointing. There's an amazing moment where the truth is finally laid bare, and it's immediately followed by an abrupt and unsatisfying end.

Un applauso alla zia Agatha che ha saputo scrivere un romanzo magistrale in cui scovare l'assassino è un vero rompicapo.
Nonostante sapessi come finisse (ho visto il film un anno fa circa, complice la pandemia) ho terminato la lettura rimanendo a bocca aperta.
Attualmente una delle migliori letture firmate Agatha Christie, insieme a Dieci Piccoli Indiani.
Come sempre la scrittura è chiara, lineare e semplice; la scrittrice gioca con il lettore, facendo mentire e ingannare i protagonisti, ma Poirot non cade nelle loro trappole e riesce a capire tutto il loro gioco.
Lo rileggerei mille volte anche se so come finisce.
Brava zia Agatha, non mi hai deluso.
