This is my first ‘spy thriller’ by Agatha Christie and I think I am personally more of a fan of her Poirot and Miss Marple mysteries. I found this book difficult to follow, but then again it was written in 1951 and references to specific events to that period. The book contains a lot of buildup to an ending that wasn’t very interesting in my opinion.
