I love Agatha Christie. Although I see the topic and structure similarities to her works, it is beyond me how reviewers have put this book in the category of her works. The pace is excruciating, the ending painfully predictable and deeply unsatisfying, the characters flat ... and worst of all, the pedophilia is unnecessarily, gratuitously detailed.
