The first book I ever read from Agatha Christie. Hands down one of the best mysteries I've read in a while. The buildup of the characters, suspicions, motivations to murder kept me on the edge of my seat. And to hammer home the anticipation as I tried to unravel the clues, the final twist left me dumbfounded and doubting everything I had known about the story. A classic I'll be sure to treasure.

Breakfast club meets murder mystery indeed, a good read with compelling characters. Though the twist was a tad bit obvious, i thoroughly enjoyed the pieces of the puzzle fall into place
