4.0

Book eighteen of my personal read through of Agatha Christie in (American) publication order!

I had a bit of a reading slump in the middle of this one, so it took  me much longer than usual to finish, but I don't think that's the fault of the book, just general life circumstances. 

I found the characters especially fun, and remembered part of the solution from reading it in my teens, but was still surprised by all the ins and outs of the plot resolution. I'd be interested to read this again when I'm a bit more focused and see if I might want to bump up the rating...

adventurous mysterious tense fast-paced

4.0

Knowing Hugh Laurie likes this one may have biased me, but it was also just fun having the same author voice with new characters. Always some old fashioned ick, but this one was a good ride.
