3.5/5, króciutka, idealna na wieczorek w fotelu z herbatką, w sumie bardzo przyjemna, ale rozwiązanie zagadki troszkę naciągane. niemniej jednak bardzo mi się przyjemnie czytało, dużo zwrotów akcji... nie jest to może najlepsze dzieło Christie, ale wciąż uważam, że warte polecenia, chociażby ze względu na jego długość (a raczej krótkość, haha).

Không thể mong chờ gì quá nhiều ở một cuốn sách chuyển thể từ một vở kịch như thế này. Sách tuy ngắn nhưng được viết lại khá cẩn thận, vẫn "kịch" ở một vài chỗ nhưng không ảnh hưởng đến trải nghiệm đọc quá nhiều. Cái kết mình có thể đoán ra nhưng chủ yếu là do Agatha Christie là một tượng đài và những motif của bà được lặp đi lặp lại rất nhiều lần. Xét trong bối cảnh vở kịch này được ra mắt, nó xứng đáng là một plot twist lịch sử.

This book was okay. It was an easy read, nothing crazy, but the ending was a little expected. Right from the start, the idea that a total stranger would take a potential murder charge just so that a pretty woman wouldn't be jailed is ridiculous. The overall plot was okay as well, with the different twists coming off as predictable.
