4.5
A well crafted mystery with several twists and turns, I would highly recommend this book if you’d like to read something by Agatha Christie that has not been wildly popularized already.
The crime is nicely set-up, has several twists- and the dialogue has a hilarious dry humor at times. Also, as with the last time, I am always suprised how romantic these books turn out.
Though, a bit of a warning: One will notice this book has been written in the 1920s with things like a hereditary disposition to crime being discussed as well as benevolent sexist comments appearing frequently (though the latter I felt was more of a character choice for the narrator).
