Originally a play, this Agatha Christie novelized version of the play is a must read. Got me hooked until the end!

Interesting twist, I knew the guest was the one who murdered the husband. Fun twist, great cast narration.

I'm not convinced by the thriller/theater mesh.

MY GOD!!!! This was my first Agatha Christe book EVER and no words can describe how much I am in love istg. I recently watched the death on the nile and uuuuuu that was good too!!! But in comparison to that, this book takes the absolute cake and i mean it!! You suspect EVERYONE except the most complaint person and it makes me soo annoyed but also soooo mesmerized that the writing is just that good!! I AM AN OFFICIAL AGATHA CHRISTIE FAN TILL DEATH DO US PART!!

To the modern ear, the opening of this one kind of gives it away. I mean, dude's just there climbing in through the terrace in the middle of the night? Still, pretty fun.
