3rd read!!!!!! (this time : 90% audio book, 10% paper book)
i've read this story so many times within less than a couple of years and i was still shocked by some of these ending revelations... truly best court moment in the history of fiction. can’t wait to forget all of it before i finish reading the second one, thus forcing me to read this one again (again)! also, the logic is logicing and i love it. imo, a truly good mystery story makes you feel terrifyingly slow, not stupid to no end. and here everything makes so much sense, you kinda finish it feeling smarter for it than the opposite. still haven't finished reading the follow-up books, but rouletabille (as a character) kinda already surpasses both sherlock holmes and hercule poirot in my eyes! an icon.
