Agatha Christie finds yet another way to surprise me with her endings. This one looked a little bit too crafted like most of what actually happened is pure speculation based solely on what the characters are saying - there isn't any actual proof that it happened in the book beyond what is said. In previous books, the outcome is easier to believe. Still, I enjoyed the book, and even though it gets slow in the middle with certain situations that never get mentioned again, it gains speed at the end. I devoured the last chapters wanting to get to the unfolding of the murder.
