I am coming to the conclusion that Agatha Christie's writing is not for me. Don't get me wrong I do enjoy the mystery and the eventual reveal but the telling is a little dry and slow for me.
The story is well written and I can see why it is lauded as the best of her works. I had no idea right up until the reveal who the killer was despite the many leads and clues.

Moderate: Murder
Minor: Death
