This was my first literary foray into the world of Agatha Christie and it was a fantastic start - this book really shows why she is a national treasure!

I loved the slow unfolding of the characters, I loved the signature way the author drops in plenty of circumstances that make you doubt each character and subtle little clues that make you think ‘how did I miss that?!’ 

I tried to guess and whittled it down to two possibles but was ultimately wrong because of the fantastic twist right at the very end

A really great book
