I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. I don't like detective stories and although I have a fondness for Miss Marple for nastiga reasons, Agatha Christie, at least in TV form isnt for me.
Hugh Fraser made this a joy, he was one of the best audiobook narrators I have come across. I couldnt really tell you who was who or really what happened but I enjoyed the book because it was so funny. All the characters are like charatertures.
The book pretty much rode on the idea that you can literally do anything if you are a pretty oman and men are incredibly easy to manipulate. Lots of the descriptions and views threaded through the book are off there time and I actually found it refreshing how unapologetic it was ,but why would it be.
I wont be reading another Agatha Christie novel but if it's your thing, this one is a lot fun and total on point for what this novels was set to achieve. I enjoyed reading something outside my usual comfort zone.
