mysterious

My first Agatha Christie. (A book club choice)
I found myself bored during a lot of it. It’s a lot of interviews and not a lot really going on. It was difficult to hold my interest. I thought the ending, and how the mystery unfolded was pretty good though.

herotune's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 32%

Why did so much of Agatha Christie's work in the 60s involve the characters repeatedly complaining about how different and worse the 60s were. And this time it was Worse than Third Girl just. having everyone complain about effeminate young men with long hair over and over. Awful

Mid tbh. Too much old people lamenting modern times and yapping about how much better things used to be. Wish there’s been more focus on the themes of beauty and selfishness, sacrifice, etc. still good but in parts I was like we get it Agatha you’re an old lady.
