This book is a little bit of a stretch in my mind, while I correctly guessed whodunnit I felt like some of the details were a little far fetched. A cozy HP mystery.

Slow, repetitive, and full of pearl-clutching about how "children don't behave responsibly anymore" and "they don't lock up deranged people anymore like they ought to".

Not my favourite. I found this predictable and over repetitive.

This was my first experience reading a Christie novel and I’m so disappointed. I hope others are better. With the author’s renown, I was hoping

the killer wouldn’t be the person who was established to have motive, means, and opportunity in the first few pages,

but unfortunately it was. You could read only the first few and last two chapters of this book and it wouldn’t take away from the plot.

Well this was certainly fun!! This was the first Agatha Christie novel where I was remotely right about anything, so I don’t know how to feel about that 😅 Not her best mystery but still a good festive read for spooky season! :)
