sherlockmerlin 's review for:

4:50 from Paddington by Agatha Christie

3.0

---

I was on the fence on this one - almost a 2.5 stars for me. Most of the book was good, but as is the case for some Agatha Christie novels, the ending

Spoiler

kind of feels disjointed from the rest of the book. It's as if the priority is making the ending a complete surprise that couldn't be predicted. In this story's case, it came so out of the blue that it was jarring for me. I thought that the killer could have been the killer, but for reasons different than the ones that turned out to be the case, and there wasn't any foreshadowing to make it seem believable.
