Oh boy this is my favourite book of all time. I am a sucker for Agatha Christie's work and this is by far the best. The characters were likeable but they all had that little something that made you think "Something's wrong." Now I'm going to be a basic bitch and say Lombard was my favourite because he was really interesting and the only one smart enough to actually find the killer only to be tipped off by the other stuff going on. He was so close!!!! 😭 We also don't get a lot of background information about him which makes him even more intriguing. Another character I really liked was, extremely fucking unsurprisingly, Vera Claythorne. I liked her ON HER OWN, not like a pair for Lombard, distastefully portrayed in the 2015 miniseries. She was a fun character, her dark past adding to the innocent nice girl façade, making you wonder how far she would go to achieve something she wants. GO READ IT‼️🫵

I really appreciated this mystery, however, I’m a tab bummed because I read a book earlier this year that I know realize was based on this classic.  That kinda spoiled the plot for me.  There are many thoughts in this book that have not aged well.  And it always annoys me when a person claims to be able to tell innocence or guilt just by looking at a person - that has been proven to be a fallacy time and again.  It was an interesting tale and told with the author’s murderous charm.  Worth reading!  4 stars

I am proud to call this my first Agatha Christie book I've read. I have to say that it's my most favorite murder mystery story and I don't think I'll ever forget it.

I've watched the tv adaptations of this book but have never actually read it and I'm glad I finally got around to it. I genuinely found it so ominous and creepy that I had to stop reading it before bed because I knew it would keep me awake. It left me guessing right up until the end and I really enjoyed the in depth explanation at the end rather than leaving it on a cliffhanger.
