Works better than a sleeping pill
I know it's a classic but I was bored. I'm not the sort who falls asleep reading but this book did it.

I listed to the audio with Peter Dinklage from audible. Performance by cast was great! Felt like I was watching a play. Short, kinda predictable lol. Standard murder mystery format of "who done it" - good but not really my normal style of story
*2023 reading goal: reading the hercule poirot series by agatha christie*
this is the second book i’ve read in the series, since starting with the most popular murder on the orient express. i felt like it would have been better to read from the get go, and not after her most proclaimed and popular work, as it didn’t hold up in a side-by-side comparison. the characters were okay, but the plot lacked for me, and poirot came off as withholding of important facts so he could solve the case on a selfish timeline.

Was entertaining and fun, it kind of felt like the Knives Out movie. Poirot's behavior was a bit weird and frustrating at times, but overall, it was a pretty good murder mystery.
