At this point Agatha Christie books are really just entertaining background noise for me to listen to. I did really like the concept of this book, and I think I would have really liked it if I read it. However, I much prefer mysteries that I can actually follow and kind of guess where it's headed. Christie's conclusions always seem to come out of left field to me. I don't think I'll ever spend any more energy on physically reading one of her books, but I'll probably keep listening to the audiobooks.
