As usual Christie had me guessing all way through the story. Luckily Poirot came to the rescue. This isn't the first time that Christie chooses the easy way out:

the murderer is kind of likeable, we feel for her, and we wouldn't want her to go to prison or get hanged, so Christie goes for suicide, without Poirot interfering…

This one was bananas. I wasn't really drawn in, but the female characters here were pretty fascinating. The ending was classic Christie, with all the pros and cons.

Hooo does she love just killing of the murderers... So odd!
