adventurous funny mysterious sad

4.0

A different narrator this time: Nurse Amy Leatheran! I really enjoyed her voice and it was fun to see Poirot from her perspective. 

A comment near the end

places this book chronologically before Murder on the Orient Express,

which I thought was interesting.

This is the second time I’ve been able to guess whodunnit, but I couldn’t work out how. Made for a fun read. :)

This has to be the most Agatha Christie's 1930's racism bothered me along with none of the characters being fun, expect for 1 doctor who has like 10 total lines
