Heard the audiobook and actually thought the Lottie/Lettie was me mishearing things. To find out that it was relevant to the whodunnit question felt like a really good pay off.

I know this is advertised as one of Agatha Christie’s own favorites, and so far I’d say it’s one of my favorites too. The Marple ones are so fun

Solid enough mystery with some smart twists and enjoyable characters. Some stuff relies on the characters being stupid but overall the mystery develops in an organic way

This is one of Christie's best. The investigation is interesting, as are the characters, and it has a wonderful twist!!!
