HUGE Christie devotee. This is my favorite novel/mystery that she wrote. I solved it in the first chapter (the killer would know the truth of Mr. Ferris’ death – and one character would). That allowed me to spend the entire novel enjoying her brilliant obfuscation of the killer.
Would never recommend anyone read this as their first Christie. They need a base understanding of Dame Agatha’s fairplay style before diving in.
