This is, thus far, my favourite story by Agatha Christie. To me, it was much more than a detective novel/murder mystery. The body count in this story struck and shocked me at the same time. It felt more like a thriller from the first couple of pages onwards and kept beeing immensely exciting throughout the whole plot. I could not lay it down, especially during the last ca. 50 pages. And as always with Christie, I never suspected the person who eventually turned out to be the murderer. On top of that, I truly enjoyed that there was also a romance in this story. Highly recommend!

A solid Agatha Christie - bit far fetched in places but a decent mystery.
