Oh boy this is my favourite book of all time. I am a sucker for Agatha Christie's work and this is by far the best. The characters were likeable but they all had that little something that made you think "Something's wrong." Now I'm going to be a basic bitch and say Lombard was my favourite because he was really interesting and the only one smart enough to actually find the killer only to be tipped off by the other stuff going on. He was so close!!!! 😭 We also don't get a lot of background information about him which makes him even more intriguing. Another character I really liked was, extremely fucking unsurprisingly, Vera Claythorne. I liked her ON HER OWN, not like a pair for Lombard, distastefully portrayed in the 2015 miniseries. She was a fun character, her dark past adding to the innocent nice girl façade, making you wonder how far she would go to achieve something she wants. GO READ IT‼️🫵
