Agatha Christie's title as the "Queen of Mystery" is absolutely merited! This mystery novel's twists and turns left me in the dark as to the identity of the killer right until the very end!
Unlike some modern mysteries/thrillers that are best described as fast-paced and heart-racing, I would definite Christie's novels as a steady intrigues, which I find equally as satisifying. The intrigue builds, the puzzle pieces are revealed one-by-one, and, at last, the entire narrative is revealed in a satisfying and surprising end.
Christie is also able to craft mysteries without any plot holes, which is a challenge not many novels seem able to overcome nowadays and shows her incredible abilities!
Wonderful, delightful read.

Brilliant. Very cleverly written, and it’s easy to see why this is viewed as one of Christie’s greatest works. Knowing the ending (and it’s almost impossible not to given how famous this work is), in no way affected my enjoyment. Certainty one of my favourite Christie novels so far.

Good adaptation of the original novel with great artwork. My favourite of the graphic novel series (those I've read) by a long shot.
