Crime is terribly revealing. Try and vary your methods as you will, your tastes, your habits, your attitude of mind, and your soul is revealed by your actions.

Sometimes when you go back and read the books that are the origin of common motifs and tropes, it's disappointing because the themes have been repeated and improved upon. That was not the case with this book, because Agatha absolutely ate it up. The locked room murder?? A classic, and she executed it so well. I was fully locked in for the whole 6 hours of this audiobook, and she somehow managed to do ALL THAT in such a short period of time. I'm not giving it a full 5 stars on principle because of the #racism😔💔 but wow, what a delightful mystery experience.
