Kept me guessing the whole time, I was never right.
Truly the queen of mystery. The book is fast-paced and it goes straight to the point. I loved the clues and how it is narrated 🤩

Oh boy! This book really had me spooked! Finishing it at 11:30 pm is NOT recommended! I didn’t see the ending coming; I never would’ve guessed the murderer. Agatha Christie really was an exceptional author. Highly recommend this book!

this book is great. in the end i was really surprised how everything went down and i could never say what would happen next. the suspense and the plot twist were impressive too.

the language in the book caught me off guard at first.. you can obviously tell it was written a while ago, but when you get past that it's truly a great fast-read mystery novel. the first agathie christie i've read and i really enjoyed her way of writing characters, she gives them depth fairly quickly which gets you more invested in the story. the reveal wasn't shocking to me but it was very well thought out. wouldn't give it more than 4 stars though since its nothing mind-blowing, but still a very fun read.

If Agatha Christie was still alive, she'd have a case for copyright fraud against the makers of the Saw franchise.
