I literally love Agatha Christie so darn freaking much and this one especially highlights why. Each persons personality matches their descriptors in a way not a lot of other authors can replicate, in that when Arlena, who is said to be a hot, cunning, and flirtatious woman, makes her introduction before her death (not a spoiler... it's on the back of the book...) I knew she was exactly that. Her mannerisms line up with the way that Agatha Christie says that she should be perceived and the same goes for everyone else in the book. Every character had a motive in this one. Like every single one. No one can be ruled out, but at the end it lines up perfectly. I did have it figured out like two pages before Poirot did so I was pretty proud of myself when I was right hehehe.
