3.5

The new film adaptation is as good as any to read this book and I really like the setting of the story. The crime was a little predictable, overall, save for some unexpected events following the murder. I have to admit it’s satisfying to have my suspicions confirmed by Hercule Poirot, but some bits were a bit weird to me (I guess real life people are perfectly capable of being rather odd or saying strange things, but still). ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (3.5 out of 5 stars) for me.
