this book was not for me... but book club is today so my feelings may be swayed after discussing~
i just thought it was rather dry. and it didn't sit well with me that there was a giant, mustache-twirly, exposition for the epilogue. furthermore, i didn't care for any of the characters. period. they meant nothing to me. and here's the kicker: even after the epilogue, i didn't care to even go back and see if the 'confession' truly lined up properly.
was it well-written? maybe? was it clever? i don't particularly think so. the 10 little soldiers poem was gimmicky and didn't help in my enjoyment of the novel.
2.5/5 because i finished the book. i don't recommend. BUT i'm not adverse to trying another Agatha Christie novel in the future.
