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.

I enjoyed this book! I did guess the murderer early in the book but I couldn't have predicted the twist. A short and enjoyed read although a tad slow in places.

I can appreciate this book for what it is - revolutionary for its time, politically piercing and gripping. 

I had my predictions for who dunnit. I finished it in a single sitting. 

I just don't think plot-driven murder mysteries with a huge ensemble cast are my thing. I prefer character-driven development and I really want to care about the fate of the people I'm spending time with. 

It was an easy read, but not super satisfying.
