DNF'd. Don't hate me! I couldn't deal with the number of pages spent on scenery descriptions or prolonging answers to a mystery.

This book doesn't have the quirkiness of Marple or Poirot. It has a lot of quite intense characters. And it has a lot of tension, but what it doesn't have is a lot of plot movement--that is, until the last couple of chapters. And then things go off with a bang. Not one of Christie's most memorable, but readable as always.

Book source ~ Purchased
I bought this for an online book club read and I waited too long to write the review. I recall some details, but most of it is hazy in my memory. I do remember that I was having difficulty figuring out who the killer was and every time I thought I had it correct, I was proven wrong. Gah! The mark of a great mystery and Agatha Christie is notable as one of, if not THE, best at twisting and turning her victims, I mean, readers, around.

This book was so interesting but also weird. A 3.5 feels so mid for a book that had 1 star and 5 star moments.
