3.9 AVERAGE


The conclusion was excellent, as expected from Christie, but the narrative wasn't that engaging and dragged a bit

Made le boyfriend pick out a book for me, and pick something I wouldn’t otherwise read he did. Not my genre, but I’m giving credit to Christie for being able to write boring middle-aged men so convincingly. It was entertaining, but I wasn’t that interested and found it slow and repetitive, kind of?

another adventure of poirot and his buddy hastings. it's told mainly in hastings' perspectives, about a series of murder foretold by a letter poirot got on a fine reunion day.

overall it was an okay read, it's too much conversations for my own liking, making the plot kinda shallow. i like the banters between poirot and hastings but that's about it, nothing else is quite engaging whatsoever. the reveal was definitely something, i liked the ending, but by a normal amount, nothing's too satisfying whatsoever (no shade tho, it's just simply not my cup of tea, i love woman writer !!)
