Predictable murder plot with causal historic racism/antisemitism. The idea that people are unable to break from self-fulfilling prophecies, even/especially explicit prophesies, is of valuable exploration.

My first Christie novel, really enjoyed it. Taking the children’s poem and turning it into the source for murders. The isolation of island secludes the 10 guests making it known that one among them is the killer. I think the only issue is that we know how it’s going to end so I was just waiting for there to be none.

This was the best mystery! Seriously made me keep guessing and at the end I thought it was impossible. In the epilogue I understood how it all went down but it just felt unsatisfying since the answer was basically just leave out info. Overall it’s a must read

Now THIS is a murder mystery book. Although it does start off a bit slow and I needed to keep a sticky note of everyone's names, this book was a page turner. The style of the book is different from other murder mystery books I've read, as the crime is fully presented to you, and only explained after everything has gone down through an epilogue. However, the solution given is satisfactory, although I find it VERY improbable that someone could guess it before it is revealed.
Another amazing Agatha Christie book! 100% recommend!
