5.0

A reread, I think? But I don't remember. If so, it's been a good long while.

A starstruck woman meets a famous actress and soon afterwards falls down dead. Who could have murdered her? Or was the poison intended for someone else?

This may be one of my favorite Agatha Christies to date; I was sure I had it, but completely did not; when I heard the solution I was like, "You made a note about exactly that one point in the beginning and didn't even follow up on it!" I was snagged by a red herring, smugly sure that I had avoided the red herrings and was onto the real solution.

Ach, I should have known better.
