This book was slow at the start but overtime the pace picked up quite well. The story flows smoothly and I don't think I expected the later events. Also, that ending... so good.

Just like with Murder on the Orient Express, I tried SO hard to figure it out - took notes, reread practically the whole book. And it turned out my main theory was RIGHT and it was SO deeply satisfying!!!

Woof, I forgot how racist, classist,, and misogynistic Agatha Christie's writing is. I understand part of it being the time it was written in but I won't be reading any of her other works again.
