Book twenty-five of my personal read through of Agatha Christie in (American) publication order.

While the tone was still on the cozier side, as you would expect, the structure of this one screamed thriller to me. The murder didn't happen until after ramping up the tension a bit, and once it did it was clever locked room type mystery. (I had some suspicion about where the red herrings lay, but that probably just means I read it as a teen and slightly remembered it from then...)

Definitely recommended if you like Agatha Christie but want a change of pace from her cozier and more English feeling stories.
