Wow. This is why she's called the Queen of crime. 
One of the more atmospheric Christies that I've read, and with characters I find likeable and well drawn. I was afraid I'd guessed the answer. 
I was wrong.

Not bad, as anything by Christie ever even could be, but somehow the plot was a bit predictable in this one. Great family drama, but unfortunately so very stereotypical.
