This has to be the most Agatha Christie's 1930's racism bothered me along with none of the characters being fun, expect for 1 doctor who has like 10 total lines

As always a quick and fun read. However, after reading so many of her books it has become easier to guess the killer. At one point I was like "it would have been better if

Dr. Leidner was the killer" and indeed he was. I really hated the way that he killed Miss Johnson it was too brutal and not like the deaths in her other books.

There were many of its time elements so that did make this less enjoyable but overall I liked it just not as much as some other books from her.
