As usual The Queen has once again proved why she is "The Queen of crime"..she had tried out a new genre and successfully made it through. The last two pages was really unexpected though!!!...The way she had gone through the story was bit different from her other books. At first I doubted whether this book can make me love it...but as in some melodramatic movie I swiped into the the book in such love as I swipe the pages. Worth every page ;)

While one cannot agree with Ms.Christie about the psychology of women, the book itself was interesting and kept my attention from start to finish. It was read well by Ms. E. Fox.

Fast read! I couldn’t predict anything (nothing new) and was surprised by a few twists! Surprisingly topical theme of the rich hoarding what they want and getting away with it because of their power and influence

Moderate: Racism
A lot of casual/of the time racism — more so than your average Christie novel!
It's a good book to read on a holiday away and a unique thriller from Agatha Christie. As this time, we don't follow a genius detective, but rather an ordinary lady who found herself in the midst of an intricate, mysterious web. It is surely a recommended read for anyone interested in Christie's stories.
