Love this book. Docked this version (narrated by Dan Stevens) because his narration gives away the murderer. See below for more info. Other than that, this is a gripping mystery, definitely my favorite by Agatha Christie. 
There is a scene where the thoughts of the characters are written, but it doesn’t say who is thinking what. One person (unnamed for obvious reasons) thinks about how they were lying. When you read the book, you have no idea who is thinking that. This version, however, has Dan Stevens read this thought in the voice of the murderer. As I’ve read it before, it wasn’t surprising, but still super weird to give it away with the narration.
