Unpopular opinion incoming lol.
Ich mag Krimis bei denen ich das Gefühl habe ich habe die Hinweise direkt vor mir und könnte den "Mörder" finden und das rätsel lösen wenn ich nur schlau genug und aufmerksam genug bin. Das ist der erste Christie bei dem ich nicht das Gefühl hatte. Fast alles in der hinsich passiert im Epilog mmN.

4.0

I really appreciated this mystery, however, I’m a tab bummed because I read a book earlier this year that I know realize was based on this classic.  That kinda spoiled the plot for me.  There are many thoughts in this book that have not aged well.  And it always annoys me when a person claims to be able to tell innocence or guilt just by looking at a person - that has been proven to be a fallacy time and again.  It was an interesting tale and told with the author’s murderous charm.  Worth reading!  4 stars

Murder mystery

Whoever invented Saw read this and was like I can make it worse
There's a character who's racist as fuck and would k!ll a child if it came down to it, but they'd draw the line at throwing out a woman bc she got pregnant unwed which is kind of a wild way to have morals

I would’ve given this a solid 3.5 until I looked into it’s racist history. It’s an okay mystery, but I regret reading it after finding out it’s original title. If you’re considering reading this, please look into the book’s history so that you can choose not to read it or read it with that information in mind.
