Este mes, el libro elegido para el club de lectura me ha dejado con muchos sentimientos encontrados. Puede que sea porque me había acostumbrado a las novelas más contemporáneas o centradas en épocas más actuales que, al volver a la era victoriana, me he sentido muy desconectada. O, puede ser que, tras leer a Agatha Christie, cualquier novela de la época se me queda un poco corta. El caso es que, aunque no ha estado mal del todo, se me ha hecho una lectura un poco rápida e insustancial; el caso que se nos presenta tampoco es que sea nada del otro mundo y, aunque sí que está lleno de giros (para empezar, pensaba que el crimen se cometía en el tren, pero, en verdad, la trama se desarrolla en una casa abandonada), me ha parecido todo tan inverosímil... Es decir, ya sabemos todos que Poirot, en cuanto a rigor científico, deja mucho que desear, pero que se desvelen los hechos a través de un medium... No sé, no me ha terminado de convencer. Los personajes tampoco me han parecido nada del otro mundo, además, se introducen muchos de golpe y a un ritmo muy rápido, por lo que no te da tiempo ni a conectar con ellos ni a distinguirlos. Eso sí, las vibes navideñas que trae merecen la pena.
