The topic was quite interesting and the reveal was really intriguing

I thought that Ginevra would be the killer but it was the random lady. That was a bit meh since it felt like Agatha Christie had to choose a killer and didn't want to sacrifice the characters that she liked. Still I'm happy that Nadine and Lennox ended up happily and I'm also happy for Sarah and Raymond

As always this book was also quite racist and also the way they treated older people who were fatter was so disgusting. So keep that in mind. It was still fun and I read it in one sitting.

Cozy little mystery, good for its time. Solution wasn't necessarily expected, but it didn't pack the punch I was hoping for.
