This is my first Agatha Christie book. Not crazy about it, I found the beginning very slow. It's also very much a product of its time.
The word gypsy is used multiple times throughout this book, which for those who may not know is a derogatory term for the Romani people. It also contains various instances of badmouthing and in general racists depictions of the Romani people. It is an old book. This is a risk you take when you read old books, I am aware, nonetheless it did make me a little uncomfortable and all the characters unlikeable.
It's an okay book. Would have left it at 3 🌟 but the reveal at the end did surprise me so it gets an extra 1/2 🌟 just for that.
