Despite knowing the twist (who doesn't at this point), reading along and trying to figure out the why, the how, and spotting the little hints was great fun.
The book loses .25 of a star for period typical stuff. There's some now known as offensive language used to describe neural-atypical people and people native to Africa. While I accept that the times were different and I don't think older books should be censored or re-edited for modern audiences I DO feel like a modern reader should see and recognize the problematic elements in a classic text.
Anyways, would recommend and would read another Agatha Christie.
Minor: Ableism and Racism

The mystery features a strong cast, all with their own secrets and skeletons to hide. Unraveling each one in turn is so much fun that I genuinely felt sad when it was all over. My favorite Poirot so far!
