Not my favorite but still good storytelling. This one I had figured out from almost the beginning.

My first Agatha Christie. I liked this but I think I spent too long reading it for there to be enough suspense (I was reading other books at the same time).
I did enjoy it though and I wouldn't have guessed who the murderer was.

I love a whodunnit and I think I'll read more of her work!

This was an entertaining read that I've twice, completely forgetting "who dunnit" between reads. This book wasn't my initial foray into Agatha Christie, but it's definitely one I think murder mystery fans should read.
