A perfect, cozy holiday mystery - Agatha Christie does a wonderful job with "locked-door mysteries" and has you guessing until the end on what could have happened.

Highly enjoyable mystery. I will warn others that there is some.. racial suspicion in this story? The white MCs are quite prejudiced towards a Black servant and automatically suspect them. This is only a few sentences, hence why I didn’t change my rating, but it is noticeable and appears a couple of times throughout the book.
