I listened to this in preparation for the movie and don't understand how this book and the trailer for A Haunting in Venice are supposed to be the same thing at all.

The story was clever enough, but it seems like all the action takes place off stage.
dark mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix

This was my first mystery and I'm not sure that this is the genre for me after reading this book. I was so bored...

My first mystery book, so I didn’t know what to expect. The beginning was good. The middle was confusing and boring. Too many characters with little to no backstory.

Just not good at all. Maybe I’m just not a Christie fan.
