This is such a closed mystery - seven people, one killed, the accused dead and your left to figure out if the accused was telling the truth in her innocence or one of the other five are the true murderer.

Aggie loves to throw you for a loop and I wont deny I fell for her suggestions of the reason caroline Crale did what she did. She got me good. I had initial suspicions as to the truth but I did not make it to the reveal with them at the front of my mind.

Good pacing, neat laying of clues throughout and a charming atmosphere that really works with Poirot going between the characters for their recollection of the events, although the recollections of the same events could come across as tedious and make for a slower read to keep facts straight on who said what

Wow wow wow wow!! There are so many ways this story could have turned out happier and none of them happened. Talk about being doomed by the narrative.

more game than book, i need to know how they decided when a chapter should start or end because it felt so arbitrary, how r u starting another chapter mid thought? it's the same sentence ?? otherwise Yea!!! mystery murder fun sometimes mostly fun bc its short nd quick i could not take more of these ppl!! :3 was not that hard to solve just bc it was a little heavy handed abt it's clues but that's fine too, rip amyas kind of deserved
