I enjoyed this classic. It’s a typical whodunnit that really makes you question the integrity of the characters. The reveal for me was a tad underwhelming and that’s just because I felt like it could’ve had more to it. Still a great book. I’d highly recommend.

adventurous dark mysterious fast-paced

4.5

First Agatha Christie book and I figured I might as well start with a classic. This was so addicting and it really kept me on my toes. There were some wonderful twists and I loved the way Christie led us through the different stages of the murders, progressing it from how each person tried to avoid death and still stumbled into its trap anyways. And of course, the final reveal was so satisfying—to finally figure out who was behind it all! Loved the way it was written, but it’s also worth noting there seemed to be some racist undertones with some choice words :( Despite all that, and recognizing that, it was still a fantastic novel.

I can appreciate this book for what it is - revolutionary for its time, politically piercing and gripping. 

I had my predictions for who dunnit. I finished it in a single sitting. 

I just don't think plot-driven murder mysteries with a huge ensemble cast are my thing. I prefer character-driven development and I really want to care about the fate of the people I'm spending time with. 

It was an easy read, but not super satisfying.
