"The blood tie does matter..."
I loved the family dynamics in this book. Not a natural one but made. It's difficult enough to get along with people you're related to...but I wonder if knowledge matters too. Does the knowledge that you're not a biological family have a great impact on the dynamics?
Watched the 2018 and 2007 adaptations after reading and..oh boy! What an absolute transformation of the plot the 2018 version was. It completely changed the murderer and the motive. I didn't hate it, I just wonder why they went so completely off script. The 2007 version was closer to the book however, they made it a Miss Miss Marple story and killed off characters who didn't die in the book.
So now I have three versions of the story in my mind and I don't know which one I prefer, but I'm enjoying reading Christie's standalone novels.
