DID NOT FINISH: 27%

Too many characters for me to keep track of, I think it was 16? I don’t do well with books like that and I didn’t really like the writing.

A fun mystery with Agatha Christie vibes.

Aside from a few outdated (very cringe) terms, this book is still the best. Absolutely my favorite book of all time, I used to reread it regularly but it's been a while, and only my second time listening to it. Love that they explained the none/nun joke more thoroughly in audio. 

Thanks to the New York Times Summer Reading Bucket List for getting me to "read a favorite from childhood."
