On the flip side, her writing also isn't particularly... good. It's plain and often overly simplified. Characters have the barest of personalities. Most dialogue follows a pattern of "x said angrily: 'That makes me angry!' y said suspiciously 'This is very suspicious'."
But it works! The story is completely engrossing and has a fantastic central mystery. It kept me coming back and is clearly the inspiration for an entire subgenre of "murders in an isolated mansion" stories. I'm quite eager to explore more of Christie's tales.
I came pretty close to guessing who the killer was, but it caught me by surprise!
