Great entry into mystery and the queen of mystery herself Agatha Christie. Classic mystery and one of Christie's most well-known for good reason. The poem guides the story to who will die next in a countdown deserted island series of deaths. If you're one of those people who don't read epilogues this is the time to actually read it. Not even the edits and title change could erase the horrible racism of the timesabrinalefebvre's review against another edition

Spoiler
It also helps that there was a pattern to the murders and that it was one at a time, thus it was easier to digest.
My only qualm about it was how the epilogue implied that the murderer was someone not amongst the guests, though throughout the book it insists that no one else could be found guilty. I found that quite unsatisfactory.
And of course the fact that Agatha Christie is racist is quite disappointing.
