To the modern ear, the opening of this one kind of gives it away. I mean, dude's just there climbing in through the terrace in the middle of the night? Still, pretty fun.

Not my favorite Christie by a long chalk but I enjoy reading the twists and reversals of the characters throughout the narrative.

I’m going to sit at a 3.5 for this one. Agatha Christie does a great job of keeping her cards close to her chest when she writes mystery. If I told you I guessed the end I would be lying, because I literally gasped aloud in my car when the final twist came forth.
I listened to this on a drive, which is not something I usually do, so there were some parts I did not pick up on as quickly as others, but the betrayal and family drama of this work felt like something picked up straight out of a family’s real history.
The one thing that brought the book down for me was the way Christie portrayed Jan, the younger brother of the person murdered who has some cognitive or mental disorder. It was a time capsule of some of the sentiments and dispositions taken towards disabled individuals during this time period, but made some of the dialogue hard to enjoy. Other than that it was a classic Christie mystery that I didn’t know what to expect happen next!
