Book fourteen of my personal read through of Agatha Christie in publication order!
I must have read this before because I knew almost immediately was the solution to the mystery was (though I did doubt myself a few times along the way). Not quite a personal favorite because I don't LOVE any of the characters, but it was just perfectly wintery, cozy Agatha Christie mystery feel through the whole thing, and nearly every character was entertaining to read about.

Questo libro è risultato un po' deludente, soprattutto dopo il grande interesse iniziale dovuto all'episodio della seduta spiritica, che poteva sicuramente essere sfruttato meglio e rendere l'intera opera più interessante.
In aggiunta a ciò, anche il finale non mi ha soddisfatto pienamente in quanto, rispetto ad altri libri dell'autrice, mi è sembrato meno legato al resto della storia e leggermente più forzato.
Nonostante ciò, ritengo comunque che la lettura di quest'opera sia risultata nel complesso piacevole.
