It has been decades since I read this book originally. From that perspective, as well as the perspective of a reader of many, many books can I just gush over what a talent Mrs. Christie was. I mean we have a ton of characters, many with quite developed back stories, we have a mysterious murder, many, many suspects, bits of romance, clever dialog between characters, twists and turns and in the end all tidied up for us is a satisfying way. Having read a lot, I know that is not always easy to pull off.
