Crooked House

After years of watching Murder, She Wrote and other televised Agatha Christie stories, I have finally read my first book written by her. Check that off the “someday has never come” list. Update I have previously listened to an audio book written by Christie. I guess for those purists who don't count audiobooks, the previous statement hold true....***

This was a slow starter for me and at first I had some challenges keeping characters straight. However, once about a third of the way through, the story grabbed hold and took off. I tried to guess the ending as I went along, and even when I disagreed with Charles on a suspicion, like Charles, I was surprised by the ending and saw all the clues were there.

I like that this book got me thinking with its complexity but wasn't so complex that I needed a notebook to keep everything straight. I will definitely look into more Christie books.
