Book seven of my personal read through of Agatha Christie in publication order!
This is not one of my personal favorites, but it is a very clever one. I remember the complete shock I had at the reveal when I read this one in my teens! I spent most of this read through trying to figure out if I actually remembered the ending or if I was thinking of a different story, which was entertaining in its own way, but also somewhat distracted me from enjoying the story as it unfolded.

This was a great quick read to get me out of my reading slump. The characters are great (I especially love the narrator's nosy sister) and the plot twist at the end was unexpected. This one didn't floor me as much as The Murder on the Orient Express or And Then There Were None, but definitely up there with Christie's better murderer reveals.
