5.0

A reread to gear up for the release of the new movie this coming November. I loved the 1970s movie and its all-star glamour. Watching it at a very impressionable age was what kick-started my Agatha Christie obsession. I can't swear that I've read every single one of her books, but I certainly tried. A quick, entertaining read, claustrophobic as a snapshot of British attitudes abroad, full of classicism, with just a smidge of racism and xenophobia, and plenty of those famous little grey cells in action.
