I knew who the killer was the minute a certain chapter was read, but I was still shocked by the ending. It seems an outlier in Christie’s books in that it ends not with Poirot or a confession. It’s an interesting ending with an interesting character I would like to see more of.
I’m happy that Midge and Edward got their happy ending. And I’m not sorry about the murder bc it was justified imo.

I enjoyed getting to know our characters before the mystery kicked in, and it works quite well because these odd characters need some introduction to be able to understand their reasoning as the reader. My only complaint is that as a whole, this book feels quite slow, while I prefer somewhat quicker paced stories when reading mystery novels. I didn't feel much, if any, tension during this book, but rather I felt for the characters and their relationships. I've never really come out of a Christie novel rooting for the relationship of two fictional people, but that definitely happened here.
Overall, I would recommend this novel if you don't mind a bit more character based, slower paced mystery.
