5.0

I love a morally ambiguous narrator (to the point where you're questioning their reliability!) and some 4th wall breaking. This book gripped my attention from the jump and didn't let me go until I finished.

3.0

Was Agatha Christie really necessary here?
I think I would enjoy it more if it were about some completely fictional people, especially since some very bold statements were made about and  by real people who still have very much living relatives and offsprings. This made me quite uncomfortable while reading.

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.
