i was a little dissapointed by this book, especially considering how good And Then There Were None was. I don't understand the hype around it. It was pleasant, but the resolution to the mystery wasn't jaw dropping and I did not find the mystery itself and the investigation very interesting.

Not a bad book, I see why people enjoy it but for me I couldn't connect, maybe it was because I was listening to it through an audiobook rather than reading it and the audio gave it an older feel than I think the story actually has.

The story is timeless I would say and there's no faults, unfortunately for me I found myself zoning in and out of the story and not really caring.

It doesn't deserve anything less than 3 stars though - as I said there's nothing wrong with the story, it's perfect for may people I'm sure.

Though the caracthers could be considered kinda flat, the mystery and the plot as a whole are really interesting and surprising. Definitly support giving it a read.

I really liked this. I didn’t think I would, I never had read/ listened to any Agatha Christie, I'm not sure why but I always just assumed it would be boring and dry, I also am not usually a fan of this type of book, but I thought that this was great. I never did guess who had done it until the end when they revealed it.
