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.
