I love this one. I've read it before (and seen at least one series adaptation) and didn't recall the ending going in this time. The tension builds magnificently and I can really imagine myself in this scenario with the characters growing increasingly agitated as the list of suspects narrows. Christie had done some masterful plots and I think this is one of her best. I don't think the character development is all that deep, but it doesn't need to be, because the plot, and the sensations it causes, are more the point.

There's period-typical sexism and racism, plus a surprising level of antisemitism, which is much more present in this novel than in other works of the author's I've read. Note that the original title of this story had its origins in a rhyme with offensive (and evolving) title: Ten Little N*****s became Ten Little Indians before the modern title was fixed. If you're suggesting a younger person read this it might be worth reviewing together those origins, and why American and British publishers updated the title on different timelines.
