mysterious medium-paced

This was actually my least favourite Agatha Christie novel. The narrative felt more jarring, and the ending didn't feel as rewarding as some of Christie's other reveals. This novel also just felt all round more depressing, and I wasn't necessarily on board with the romance arc. Can't beat a Poirot or Marple book.
