Eu pensei "Ora aí está, Agatha Christie, apanhei-te! Descobri o assassino, finalmente consegui acompanhar o teu raciocínio! Afinal és infalível! Descobri tudo! Muahaha". Só que não. Faltavam 30 páginas para acabar o livro. Obviamente que a rainha dos policiais não seria tão básica. E aquela pitada de romance? Amor algo instantâneo, mas ao mesmo tempo tão querido. Enfim, felizmente, não foi desta que ela me desiludiu.

A middling Christie. There's a good hook—on a train journey, recently retired policeman Luke Fitzwilliam meets an elderly lady who is convinced there's a serial killer at work in her village. When Luke learns that the woman was killed shortly after, and that one of her predictions appears to have come true, he decides to investigate the goings on personally. Equally enjoyable is the portrait Christie sketches of bucolic Wychwood, which is of course populated by characters both grotesque and comic. But these assets aren't good enough to make up for the predictable plot (admittedly perhaps fresher in the 1930s than it is almost a century later), the limp romance subplot, and how annoying Luke is.
