A mystery full of twists and turns, leaving one suspicious of everyone involved. Extremely satisfying ending. Is now one of my favourite Christie novels.

Not bad, as anything by Christie ever even could be, but somehow the plot was a bit predictable in this one. Great family drama, but unfortunately so very stereotypical.
