It was one of the most interesting books I've ever read. The book make you think you don't think right. You sure that murder is (someone) but then you understand you wasn't right. You begin think that murder is (someone else) but you did mistake again. You always want read this book because you excited what happen next. This book does unexpected turns because of this it's so interesting to read.

Another fun Agatha Christie. Didn't see Poirot much, but of course he did have to show up and save the day with his little grey cells. Interesting characters. I did suspect, towards the end that is, that

After a long dry spell personally, I am incredibly pleased at myself and thankful to Agatha Christie for my completion of the book in hardly two days. Although the first half of the book served more as a buildup to the denouement rather than anything else, I felt that it was pacier than the second.
And although the descriptions and characters were fleshed out so brilliantly, I felt the actual plot twist itself was a bit shaky. I do not feel there was enough evidence as one would like, and even ignoring this, the way Poirot stitched together the available proofs seemed - meh - shabby. "But the show must go on". In short, I was slightly unhappy with the ending and I feel that with all that the beginning of the book and the storyline had to offer, I expected a bit more.
Nonetheless, it was a thoroughly enjoyable read and who doesn't love reading crime!
