The plot was nice and twisty, but what I really loved here was the combination of several characters from other books all working together. Probably one of my favorite Agatha Christies so far, though I wouldn't recommend it for starting out--definitely more fun if you already know the different characters from other books!
Interesting conversation about murder and justice partway through too...

Christie's ending, usually drum-tight, is a little loose here, as if she couldn't quite stop with the "four suspects" routine even as she was eliminating one after another. And seeing Christie's self-insert Ariadne Oliver is always a treat, a bit of a bumbler and completely full of herself. Enjoyable enough, and there's nothing much wrong with it, exactly, but one can't help but feel that the experiment was carried on too long, or wasn't well considered in the first place.
