El libro en sí está bastante bien, pero se me ha hecho un poco bola. Comparándolo con “Muerte en el Nilo” (que lo leí el mes pasado) me parece mucho mejor este, pero me temo que todos los libros de Poirot son básicamente iguales, cambiando de ambientación y personajes.
Un poco enrevesado pero entretenido, recomendado para quien quiera empezar con libros de misterio.
Aunque he tardado mil años en leerme este libro, comprendo porqué es uno de los clásicos de Agatha Christie, pero para mi gusto nada se compara con “Diez Negritos”, que es increíble.

What a fun novel. I really liked trying to figure everything out and piece all the evidence together. I think the ending was a bit... extravagant, and I would have liked more plot throughout besides just interviews. Also, there were so many stereotypes that felt super unnecessary, and possibly just Agatha Christie's bias and racism coming through YET AGAIN!! It just makes the reading experience uncomfy. Otherwise, the pacing and backstory were interesting (if not a little triggering!) and all of the characters were quite dynamic.
