3.0

This was a 5 star prediction for me, and it fell so flat.  It never managed to get me to care about the characters, despite all of its efforts.  It's not bad per se but I'm extremely disappointed.

For a book about Agatha Christie’s disappointment, it runs into more cliches than a bad mystery novel.
