Agatha Christie has a very distinct style of writing but that is not to say it is a bad thing. Her writing is fast-paced and engaging and, in my opinion, proves to be a perfect read during a car or plane journey. I devoured this in one day and, per usual, none of my theories were correct in the end. She always knows how to surprise a reader and create a complex mystery story. I liked the setting of a confined island and the numerous characters all of which had a sense of mystery to them.

An Agatha Christie mystery set at a holiday destination is the perfect holiday reading!

2,5* Rather boring, the murder was admittedly very thought through but still the explanation seemed a bit unrealistic. 
Edit: 3,5* second read was better, still not the best resolution but compared to others quite believable.
