 Three Act Tragedy

WOW, now this is a smashing start of the year, sure I started it on 31st hoping it would end with the year as last one -

But what's better than getting pumped up to read more on 1st day of New Year. And Three Act Tragedy was one of the best Christie. It was similar to Five Little Pigs, with more emphasis on various characters and their POVs of crime which -
For many is a big letdown.

But no, a hundred NO.
This takes up directly in Top Ten Christie.

Some things are predictable, some explanations are loosely connected (only one!) but DAMN the motive was enough to knock me off with the audible gasp.

Like every Christie, the red herrings were numerous, the characters all likely to pop the victim off, and a booming romance Poirot can't help but support but here, I found one character Mr. Satterthwaite, he is LIKE 1/4 of Poirot himself!

I would like to properly review it when on Instagram and Goodreads later on considering I liked it a solid 4.7 stars.
