This is a fun novelization of Agatha Christie's play by the same title. I enjoyed the fast pace of this story, which, like many of Christie's other stories, takes place over a short span of 24 hours. I found the final twist of this mystery to be rather predictable, but the twists in between still made for a good time.
Unfortunately I wasn't crazy about one character's stereotypical depiction and, like with any of her works, you're reminded of the time they were written in but this book in particular utilized this person for a plot device I didn't appreciate.
