4.5

Book twenty-four of my personal read through of Agatha Christie in (American) publication order.

The plot was nice and twisty, but what I really loved here was the combination of several characters from other books all working together. Probably one of my favorite Agatha Christies so far, though I wouldn't recommend it for starting out--definitely more fun if you already know the different characters from other books!

Interesting conversation about murder and justice partway through too...

A pretty solid Agatha Christie mystery that follow the usual formula. The story was interesting because of the dynamics of the dinner party but there wasn't anything that made this one stand out.
