3.0

Some very dubious comments about race in this book, partially set in South Africa and what was Rhodesia. However, it is from nearly 100 years ago. 

I found the female characters particularly fun, even if they didn’t del very three-dimensional. Love a strong female protagonist! However, I didn’t find the mystery particularly compelling - OK, but not my favourite Christie - and the romance was especially forced. 

A quick, easy read for my Agatha Christie reading challenge for 2022.
