tad bit overdramatic and indulges in an overused cliché in the mystery genre but still nice.

This book is a good read for those who love mystery. It's cozy in the sense that it's an older novel, so it's not shockingly twisted and disturbed but it's still captivating enough to keep the reader wondering until the end. I would have rated it four stars but there is a major plot point that just didn't sit well with me as it's a damaging stereotype. Even though it's a novel written in a different time, for me reading it in today's time it made the experience a bit unpleasant in places.

Short story with a lot of plot which still has a good mystery.

This was very enjoyable & entertaining to me. The fog was a great metaphor for all the confusion swirling around the characters in the story.

I did correctly guess the plot twist from the very beginning. But, that wasn’t a disappointment. It instead brought me pleasure as the plot went on.

Hugh Fraser is my favorite narrator for Christie’s work and he was superb with this reading. A very quick & enjoyable story.
