I thought this book was being datedly misogynistic, but it was actually quite surprisingly (and only slightly datedly misogynistic!).

I did not in any way predict the ending.

I liked the vibes more than the plot itself... which can be great with some other books but not murder mysteries. I read the book in a plane, which was a perfect way to start my own holiday, but I probably would have liked it less in some other setting. Solid Christie quality, the books are never bad, but she is capable of so much more.
