El libro en sí está bastante bien, pero se me ha hecho un poco bola. Comparándolo con “Muerte en el Nilo” (que lo leí el mes pasado) me parece mucho mejor este, pero me temo que todos los libros de Poirot son básicamente iguales, cambiando de ambientación y personajes. 
Un poco enrevesado pero entretenido, recomendado para quien quiera empezar con libros de misterio. 
Aunque he tardado mil años en leerme este libro, comprendo porqué es uno de los clásicos de Agatha Christie, pero para mi gusto nada se compara con “Diez Negritos”, que es increíble.

4.0

i loved slowly unraveling the mystery and meeting all the diverse characters. one of  the only issues i ever have with her books (other than the racism, homophobia, sexism, etc. obviously) is the sheer amount of characters. there are always a lot of characters and corresponding backstories that can get a little confusing at times.
