This was a clever and enjoyable read. The mystery keeps you guessing, and the twist at the end completely caught me off guard. Agatha Christie’s writing is clear and engaging, and there’s a lot to talk about — especially around the ending and how the story is told.

Great pick for book clubs — plenty to discuss and fun to try and solve along the way.
