PopSugar Reading Challenge 2022: A book with a reflected image on the cover or "mirror" in the title

I'm very familiar with the plot of this one because it has, in my opinion, one of the cleverest motives in Christie-dom.

Sadly, although it bounces along well enough as a read, it just can't compete with the gorgeous 2010 TV version. I've been spoilt by these stories being brought to life on the screen and the original material doesn't quite compare.

Is that a sacrilegious thing to say? Agatha Christie is a genius plotter and without these books, none of my favourite television would exist!

Still, as a reading experience, I don't always enjoy these as much as I'd like.
