Audiobooks are really a different experience. It highlights the repetitiveness of passges (unintentionally), and since it’s being narrated in a normal speaking speed, it also unintentionally highlights how nothing happens for a long time—something that could’ve escaped one’s notice if they were reading at a faster space.
Christie has always had characters with different point of views, from misogynists to sexists to feminists. Normally, this doesn’t bother me because it’s a reflection of the world—not everyone is open-minded, not everyone believes in equal rights (sadly). It did make me uncomfortable, however, when the titular POV character is the racist.
Overall, it was an okay mystery, if extremely slow and quite repetitive.
