4.5

Brilliant. Very cleverly written, and it’s easy to see why this is viewed as one of Christie’s greatest works. Knowing the ending (and it’s almost impossible not to given how famous this work is), in no way affected my enjoyment. Certainty one of my favourite Christie novels so far.

Good adaptation of the original novel with great artwork. My favourite of the graphic novel series (those I've read) by a long shot.

The conclusion was one I definitely was not expecting. Christie's books are way more fun to read if you really can't figure out the mystery until she reveals it all at the end - then you get that "Ahhh" moment.
