Not one of my favourite Poirots, sadly. I enjoyed the family dynamics but found myself getting some of the characters mixed up. My favourite character was definitely Miss Gilchrist.

Just when I thought her work was getting tiring after a poor experience with The ABC Murders, this book comes to the rescue, proving that indeed, I just didn't vibe with The ABC Murders.
I loved the multiple pov characters, the family dynamics, it seems like this kind of setting is never a miss for me, it might not always be the best, but always a hit nonetheless.
Sure, the ending wasn't so satisfying but I've come to terms with the fact that The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is as best as they come and no other ending can top it. But I still enjoyed the journey to get to the reveal and that's the most important part.

Solid story, solid reveal, and definite twists and turns. An overall thoroughly delightful novel. A wonderfully unexpected mystery reveal.

I’m a big fan of Agatha Christie. However this book wasn’t as gripping as most of her other books I’ve read. The main character did not come onto the scene until very late in the book. Over all though I still enjoyed it.
