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

after reading this I watched knives out 2: glass onion recently and I can say proudly that Agatha would've been proud of Rian Johnson

4.5

This is definitely famous  for a reason. After reading so many of her works it's harder for me to give them higher ratings. However, this was so good. I loved the resolution, everything made sense and I'm quite satisfied with the ending. The only reason I didn't give this a higher rating is there were some of its time elements.

Also she was a minor???? I wish she wrote her a bit older what is this?

C’est un livre pour les fans de la série : l’histoire progresse extrêmement lentement, devenant même un peu ennuyante, mais les deux derniers chapitres sont toujours assez gratifiants pour récompenser votre persévérance.
