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 book was slow at the start but overtime the pace picked up quite well. The story flows smoothly and I don't think I expected the later events. Also, that ending... so good.
