4.5

- This story is quite fascinating and I had quite a good time reading it. The pacing is great and it was quite easy to get through -- just how I like it. 

 

 
It also helps that there was a pattern to the murders and that it was one at a time, thus it was easier to digest.

My only qualm about it was how the epilogue implied that the murderer was someone not amongst the guests, though throughout the book it insists that no one else could be found guilty. I found that quite unsatisfactory.

Fantastic book that kept me guessing until the very end! Nobody does it like Agatha Christie. The atmosphere is tense the entire time and the slow revelation of details is perfect. Highly recommend.
