This was definitely the easiest, breeziest Agatha Christie book I've gone through. I really enjoyed the that the majority was from Hastings' perspective. In some of her other books, I've noticed she tends to jump around a bit between perspectives, which is fine, but can be a tad confusing if you're not reading everything with a fully focused mind. The characters were all quite lively and enjoyable. The idea of this case was also intriguing and I do feel that the conclusion did make sense, and how he reached that conclusion was satisfactory. I felt that it wrapped up quite nicely.
Of course, with the age of the book there are prejudices that come with it being a product of its era, so do be aware of that when reading her work.
