that was good. at first i suspected
flora and blunt, and then slightly before the end i suspected the actual murderer, shepherd. i realised it was wierd that the book was written in first person when none of christie’s other books are. also, somewhere around page 230, poirot said something about all the suspects and shepherd was not one of them. that was interesting because i thought he would be an obvious suspect. i read this book because my mother guessed the ending when she was a child. i was on the verge of guessing it but didn’t. i did suspect him for a hot minute. also, the fact that the dictaphone read out the dead man’s voice was quite creepy!
.
it’s not like her other murder books! wow
