Requires a heavy suspension of disbelief but liked the main characters. Lots of casual rascism typical of the time period it was written in.
Graphic: Racial slurs, Racism, and Xenophobia
Moderate: Murder and Classism
Minor: Kidnapping

A fun entry in the Christie legacy. A little strangers-to-lovers story, a little murder and mayhem, a little amateur sleuthing. Not a lot of history on each character, but plenty of time observing their interactions and taking their perspectives.
A bit more racist than her average story, and about the usual level of classism, so if period-typical stereotyping bothers you, you might do better with another story of hers. This mystery is not possible to unravel on your own because key clues and information are kept from you until the end. It's also too long.
