I’ll never forget the first time I read this book, and I’m thrilled that it held up a second time. Agatha Christie is truly one of the best.

I’d never read this Agatha Christie book before and was really impressed at the complexity of the plot. Based on my memories of what I read in my youth, her books weren’t that complicated. Clearly I either didn’t read them well or thoroughly, or I just wasn’t remembering clearly.
Without giving details or spoilers I’ll only say Christie uses a great plot device in this story. I found it surprising and very satisfying as a result. As with all mysteries, everyone has something to hide, some far more unsavory than others.
Definitely recommended.
