I can appreciate this book for what it is - revolutionary for its time, politically piercing and gripping. 

I had my predictions for who dunnit. I finished it in a single sitting. 

I just don't think plot-driven murder mysteries with a huge ensemble cast are my thing. I prefer character-driven development and I really want to care about the fate of the people I'm spending time with. 

It was an easy read, but not super satisfying.

One of my favorite books of all time. Agatha Christie never disappoints 

I couldn’t have guessed it was Wargrave all along, the end was so surprising and smart. Loved it.
