aside from that, this was a less enjoyable Christie because I was able to guess the plot in the first 30ish pages. however, i really enjoyed the last 20 pages where we get the interactions between Poirot and Jacqueline after the murderer is revealed.

I had a lot of fun reading this book. I also really enjoyed the mystery aspect of it. I watched the 1978 movie before reading the book, and while I enjoyed both, I wasn't expecting the movie to be so close to the book. (I only accept the 1978 movie, especially since I refuse to watch the 2020 version.) There were a lot of moments while reading where I was like "I remember that!"
