It's fun, but I had already watched the movie from Kenneth Branagh so I already knew all the plot points.

Maybe this is just a skill issue, but I had some problems with remembering the characters in the book. There are so many of them.

It was entertaining and surprisingly breezy for a book with so many murders. Agatha Christie is a classic for a reason. That being said, the writing is definitely distinctly of a time and place (including some racist undertones in the discussion of the Egyptians)and the plot complications feel contrived rather than natural. 

This was a book club pick.

Re-reading some classics and Agatha Christie is a master of mystery and intrigue. Always would recommend her if in the mood for a good detective plot.

Simply a perfect mystery. You are given enough to solve it, but there are enough moving parts to keep it interesting. I guessed the solution early but could not figure out how they pulled it off.
