And yet, in the end, I fail to find another of Ms. Christie's murderers. Alas, this one was already staring at me in the face.

I really enjoyed this one! I don't do mysteries very often, but the resolution surprised me despite having considered it at various points. It was also funny and well paced, with just the right ratio of description and dialogue. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Charles Armstrong and he was absolutely fantastic. The various character voices were impressive from the many accents to the very slight change of characterization between more subtle characters. This one was recommended to me by my best friend and I can see why!
