I really really really liked this one.

This is one of the best of the "independant" agatha christie books, i think.
Interesting cast of characters too.

The character work here is remarkable.


Of note, i *really* like Philip, hilarious guy, i love him.
Never really felt sad when a christie character died or something, but man, with philip it's like, damn

The situation is unique, as usual.

At first, i really did think this Rachel Argyle was this good, wholesome, un-impeachable (roughly) woman, and then the slow reveal that she's actually this domineering, oppressive lady was really interesting; her delusional beliefs really came to a head, as far as i'm concerned when Leo started to reminisce about the past of micky's history and how she denied him his biological mother's love.

She seems the type of person that isn't wrong, just ... blegh

The final reveal was wholly unexpected, I didn't ..

Anyways, a new favorite for sure.
