4.0

I wasn't sure if I was enjoying this to begin with but luckily I had a better experience with the second half. Christie's writing is brilliant as usual and her characterisation in this is particularly good. I accidently spoiled myself for the ending and I would've enjoyed it a little more had I not known what was coming, however I could still appreciate the mastery in setting it all up.

Four stars because although I loved the ending, the beginning felt quite slow.

Agatha Christie is racist specifically against Gypsies (spelt gipsy in the book) throughout the entire novel.
