Agatha Christie is the queen of mystery. This whodunit had me invested from page one. Such good plot twists! Some language definitely didn't age well.

This was a pleasant surprise. I've never been into the classic mysteries, but checked this out on a whim because I just like Dan Stevens. 

I think this is likely one of those books I'd never be able to finish in print, but with the right narrator it just clicks. Stevens does all the voices, and inhabits every character so well that you really feel like you can see them. The story just flew by and I was honestly surprised by the end, which I didn't think could be possible with a book this old. 

Obviously not going to comment much on the plot, as it's a mystery. Content warnings ahoy, although the later editions have at least altered the glaringly racist title. Basically if you've never read Agatha Christie and want to give it a try, you could do a lot worse than letting Dan chaperone you.
