I read this book in one sitting. It’s a great introduction to Christie’s style and characters, though the ending was a bit disappointing. I was excited and caught up in the mystery of the story, excited to find out if my predictions were accurate and the ending felt that it was suddenly introducing new facts and points in order to pull the rug out from under the audience and make a shocking ending. I like the mystery element of the story but it wasn’t remarkable or memorable to me.
