I have to cut it a little slack for the incredible racism, xenophobia, etc given the time it was written but, having never read an Agatha Christie book before, I was still surprised at things that were “okay” to say at the time, as well as how many of the phrases used are still said today. I was familiar with the story prior to reading and I can only imagine how shocking the ending would’ve been when the book was originally published.
I may read more of Christie’s titles whenever I’m in a reading slump in the future.
