I just can't believe how it all ended!! Agatha Christie may have just become one of my favorite authors.

This one took me a long time and I actually took a break half way through because I just was not that interested. But I'm glad I picked it up again, the second half is better than the first and the explanation at the end surprised me, I was definitely taken in by the red herrings this time! Did not enjoy some rather surprising racial slurs early on, I know it was a different time but Agatha sometimes disappoints me with her stereotypes and racism.

well look it’s a good plot isn’t it but agatha you need urgently to have a day off from racism

I've not read many Christie books, but I have to say I very much enjoyed this one. Couldn't help reading Poirot's dialogue in David Suchet's voice, though...
