It’s always a bad sign when a book starts with an essay (written by a “New York Times bestselling author” I’ve never heard of) telling you that the book doesn’t actually suck. No, it’s actually a brilliant satire. All the critics just don’t appreciate the brilliance.)

Don’t buy that nonsense. It may have some satire within, but it’s largely just a very dull mystery. By the time you get to the end you reach a point of “who cares any longer.” Also, Bundle is also not an especially interesting detective, which is why she likely only appears in two books.

Unless you’re reading the entire Christie bibliography as I am, you can skip this one.

I do love Agatha Christie's writing. I never can guess correctly who the culprit is and this story was no different. Brilliant as usual. This particular book was a little harder for me to get into, but I absolutely came to love the characters and the plot and everything else about this story. If you like mysteries, reading Agatha Christie is a must and I recommend this one to anyone who likes secret gangs and intrigue.

In terms of plot, I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first Inspector Battle, however I enjoyed the story being from Bundle's viewpoint. She is a kick!

Fue una buena forma de adentrarme en el mundo de Agatha Christie. Agarre este libro con unas críticas super positivas hacía sus obras, así que tenía la vara muy alta pero lo más sorprendente es que sobrepasó todas mis expectativas.
Me sentí dentro del relato todo el tiempo. Y he pensado mucho sobre quién sería el posible culpable. Pero Agatha simplemente trabajó la historia de una manera espectacular que cuando llegas a las últimas páginas, el momento de declarar todas las pruebas en orden y por consiguiente revelar el misterio, quedas completamente soprendido de no haber pensado en esa persona. Una de las mejores lecturas de este año.
