A fun mystery that I can honestly say I didn't ID the killer until the third act. That is longer than my usual and it didn't feel like anyone jumped the shark or it got pulled out of thin air. Hope to get more of the side characters in the next book, but getting the duo dynamic done first is more important for a first book.
As a long-time Christie reader, i was very happy with the quotes at the beginning of each chapter and found them fitting without being spoilers for the upcoming chapter.
