3.0

Slow burn plot with a mindfuck ending. Not extraordinary, but definitely surprising, did not see that coming!

The end reminded me a lot of Crimson Peak vibes, although with the main character here being both the murderer and the one longing for redemption. And there’s not really any happy ending for anyone, of course. Very interesting even if tragic.

This was a great Christie character study.

MAJOR problems with the use of g*psy from beginning to end, and not just the word but insulting characteristics of the people from beginning to end.

Agatha Christie is racist specifically against Gypsies (spelt gipsy in the book) throughout the entire novel.
