I was interested in the premise of this book because it felt like a classic Christie setup but the execution wasn't as successful as I'd hoped. I found the dialogue a bit stilted and the characters blurred together a little. We're also supposed to implicitly trust the detective and we're told he's brilliant, without much backstory or detail which meant I wasn't as invested as I wanted to be. I thought the setting was really atmospheric and there were some good twists but unfortunately I did feel like something was missing.
