Excellent book. I gave it 3.5 stars instead of 4 because it’s problematic in places, because of the time it was written. It’s good if you don’t mind mysteries with monologuing at the end.

It shouldn’t have surprised me that I liked this book way more that I thought I would. But Christie isn’t named the queen of mystery for nothing . I was partially right about the ending which was fun. Overall it’s a great read , the set up in the first third takes a little bit but overall it moves quickly.

it is so disappointing to be reading this book and come across racist comments. it ruins any enjoyment i was feeling. 

aside from that, this was a less enjoyable Christie because I was able to guess the plot in the first 30ish pages. however, i really enjoyed the last 20 pages where we get the interactions between Poirot and Jacqueline after the murderer is revealed.
