If I don’t consider the casual sexism, racism, and classism that was seemingly accepted when this was written, this book is a gem! There is no one who writes mysteries like Agatha Christie and Hercules Poirot can solve the wildest crimes! Which, luckily for us, requires some incredibly creative writing to come up with new stories and possibilities!

This was my first Agatha Christie book and I feel like I expected... more?
I had to push myself to continue reading until I reached about half of the book. To me, it started being painfully slow, but after the
first
murder things started to pick up a faster pace. 
I started to enjoy it towards the end, where the details start being revealed. 
I think it can still be a good read for whoever enjoys mystery and murder stories, just know that it'll start slow! Plus, getting to remember all of the names at the beginning was really confusing. 
I wouldn't say I enjoyed it 100% but some chapters did keep me entertained. 
If someone asked me if I liked it I would say "meeeh" or "it was alright" meaning that I wouldn't re-read it.

Book twenty-seven in my personal read through of Agatha Christie in (American) publication order.

This is a very clever story. I rather regret having watched the movie so recently as to remove all sense of mystery or tension from the unfolding of events.

Highly recommended if you have not experienced the story before, and definitely avoid spoilers!
