No fue tan bueno como pensaba que lo iba a ser. Sin embargo, me gustó. Y sin duda fue por la manera de escribir (sin entrar en detalles) de la autora, que mantiene el misterio alrededor de la trama y nunca lo suelta hasta que se desvela la verdad. Recomendaría otros libros de la autora.
Part of an Agatha Christie mini review round up.
I really loved this mystery by Agatha Christie. The only thing that could have made it better is if Hercule Poirot would have been in it! As it is, however, I really enjoyed it. There's a whole cast of characters, each with their own motives and personalities. The characters I found to be very nicely developed for the mystery and you can really get a feel for them. With so many characters, you'd think it'd be hard to keep them all straight in your head, and it is in the beginning, but you soon get to know each and every one. As for the solution, it's one that you never see coming but looking back on the events, it's painfully clear. It's one of those hindsight things that I absolutely love.
The Final Verdict: A very cleverly woven mystery with lovely characters.
5 stars

My first Christie! An easy enjoyable read although the language is very dated/cringey at times, e.g. "negro music", and the female love interest repeatedly being called a "little idiot" by the take-charge man of the story.

Loved it! The certain characters were quite charming and I kept guessing until the very end of the story.

Los díalogos están bien buenos. Yo quería ganar el concurso de adivinar quién es el culpable pero pues me falta callo.
