I listened to this on a long road trip and I havebto admit spaced out for portions of it, but the ending tied it all together nicely regardless. I haven't read any Agatha Christie before, but I get the feeling her books are like that in general. It was darker than I expected, dealing with childhood murder. Agatha was very hard on the children in this one! But all in all, it was entertaining and a very well put together murder mystery.

Watched the 2023 movie first. Which had only the barest connection to the original book, lifting some names and a Halloween Party setting. 
This book actually takes place in the UK. All in the aftermath, but is very well done, with reasonable and believable hints and clues that all came together in the end.
