Not my favorite book, I began to like it more towards the end. The last quarter was quite entertaining. 

The audiobook-version had a bit too much talking with different voices. That is probably a matter of taste.

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.
