One of my all-time favourite books! Agatha Christie is just so skilled at painting a careful picture of family relations and psychology. Appointment with Death is a masterful Poirot novel, marred only by the occasional racial stereotype that always creeps into books of this era.

The story is excellently elaborate. The plots are well written and placed. I enjoyed the style of writing and storytelling a lot. The pace of writing was nicely quick and the book was read well.
