I found the female characters particularly fun, even if they didn’t del very three-dimensional. Love a strong female protagonist! However, I didn’t find the mystery particularly compelling - OK, but not my favourite Christie - and the romance was especially forced.
A quick, easy read for my Agatha Christie reading challenge for 2022.
Moderate: Racism

However be aware: Very big themes of colonialism, racism, exoticism...which is why I really can not rate this book any higher! Also the romance was a bit abrupt and went from 0 to 100% rather quickly
