after reading this I watched knives out 2: glass onion recently and I can say proudly that Agatha would've been proud of Rian Johnson

This is definitely famous  for a reason. After reading so many of her works it's harder for me to give them higher ratings. However, this was so good. I loved the resolution, everything made sense and I'm quite satisfied with the ending. The only reason I didn't give this a higher rating is there were some of its time elements.

Also she was a minor???? I wish she wrote her a bit older what is this?

I had quite high expectations for this because I'd heard it's one of Christie's best. I can see why people think that but it wasn't one of my favourites. It's a solid mystery and it's very clever, but I didn't find the format that compelling. The plot follows Poirot solving a murder from 16 years ago and his investigations mainly involve listening multiple accounts of the same events, which became a little repetitive. However Christie's writing is very good as usual and I didn't guess the resolution because I fell into her trap of believing exactly what she wanted me to believe.
