One of my favourite Christie’s. A decently twisty plot with a satisfying conclusion.
It is very much of it’s time though - mid-1950s - so the portrayal of students of non-British nationalities are a bit ham-fisted and uncomfortably near to racist on a few occasions.

Moderate: Murder
Minor: Death of parent and Racial slurs
