Very much enjoyed.
Entertaining and fun, and I loved Dan Stevens as narrator.
It felt a little cliche, but then I remembered it's only seen as a common trope because Agatha Christie popularized it :)
I liked the end a lot. The only thing that may have made it more enjoyable would be getting to know the characters a little more. Even after finishing I don't feel like I really knew or cared all that much about any of them. But I think the point of this type of story is more the mystery than the characters themselves.
