Puh. Jag ska nog sluta försöka lista ut mysteriet för jag blir lite besviken när jag har fel hehe. Man vet aldrig när man kan lita på vad som står på sidorna… Det var en spännande bok, inte så mysig alls. Även i denna bok saknas de målande beskrivningarna jag annars uppskattar. Agatha Christies verkar helt enkelt ha en saklig stil. Det hade dock hjälpt med ytterligare beskrivning av karaktärerna för jag höll knappt koll på dem, de var så lika.

CW: murder, suicide, racism, frightening images, gore
Loved by many, and it's obvious why! Agatha is the Queen of Mystery. I'm overwhelmed thinking of how many movies, shows, and books are inspired by this single novel.
I also can't believe the mystery takes you PAST the epilogue. Nuts.

Mukaansatenpaava, looginen ja koukuttava juoni. Myös hauskan monimutkainen tarina, mutta todella helppo lukea ja pysyä hahmoista perillä.

This gem is hailed as one of her best, and I can totally see why. It's a perfect entry point into Christie's world—short, engaging, and leaves you hungry for more.
What's truly brilliant is how she introduces and fleshes out 10 distinct characters in such a tight space. You can practically see them leap off the pages. The murder mystery, cleverly woven around them, keeps you on the edge with a sense of uncertainty. We know what's coming thanks to the nursery rhyme, yet Christie manages to keep us guessing about the how and, more importantly, the who.
I thought I had it figured out twice, confidently pointing fingers at the supposed killer, only to be blindsided when they met an unexpected demise. The constant twists and turns had me hooked.
