more game than book, i need to know how they decided when a chapter should start or end because it felt so arbitrary, how r u starting another chapter mid thought? it's the same sentence ?? otherwise Yea!!! mystery murder fun sometimes mostly fun bc its short nd quick i could not take more of these ppl!! :3 was not that hard to solve just bc it was a little heavy handed abt it's clues but that's fine too, rip amyas kind of deserved

4.5

Christie has several times written a novel about a murder that took place years and years before the investigation, with varying degrees of success. This is one of her more successful attempts, perhaps a little on the formalistic side, but deeply described and felt. Poirot is not much of a presence, and perhaps this is why the attempt is lesser known than some of her other works. It isn't deserved. This one's flawlessly crafted and turned.
