After a slow thirty pages of character introductions and names I thought I'd never remember, everything after becomes literally impossible to put down. Reading a bit before bed easily turned to being up past 3 am. The characters and their archetypes become quickly identifiable, though it helps that the numbers dwindle rapidly. The mystery keeps you guessing, and while it'd be difficult to solve based on narrative clues (it is, after all, meant to be an unsolvable crime), the reveal is satisfying and makes immediate sense. There's some period typical racism and attitudes towards women (though much has been edited out, including the original title). These record scratch moments are fairly brief, but worth noting as people have different limits.
That being said, Christie's storytelling lives up to the hype and I look forward to reading more of her work.

It's fast-paced, exciting, and I was surprised by the twists at the end.
