I GUESSED THE KILLER!!

So, this is obviously my absolutely favorite Hercule Poirot novel, since I was such a genius that I solved the crime before the chapters got into double digits. I couldn't guess the motive, but I knew who did it, how said person did it, and other specifics of the crime fairly early on! Christie had me second-guessing myself about half way through, but I stuck with my own detecting skills and was richly rewarded at the end. figuratively of course.

You know, it's really not from being so smart; it's from reading so many Poirot books, and so many in a row. I'm going to take a break to enjoy my success since I know that I won't get so lucky the next time.

Je n'aime pas trop lire des chrimes ou des choses sanglantes et gores, mais Agatha Christie a réussi à écrire un roman policier sans ça ! J'aimais l'intrigue et les indices le long du roman et je ne m'attendais pas à la fin !

The one where it could’ve been Poirot…

I feel like I’ve read this whole thing before and just forgot to log it… in any case, I really enjoyed reading it (again). The dramatis personae… camp, I think.
