Also congrats to Agatha Christie for having a more diverse cast and progressive storytelling IN THE 30S than almost anything until like 5 years ago

I wasn't sure how this would hold up when I've watched the movie recently enough to know the main twist from the very beginning, but this story was in fact, still fantastic. (Maybe the audio book and having a great narrator actually helped with this?) The characters are all interesting regardless of the outcome of the story, and there were one or two small details about the resolution I'd forgotten, so I still enjoyed those reveals.
Some of the more lauded Agatha Christie novels I think are not among her best works, but in this case, the book deserves every bit of fame it has.
