I adored Agatha Christie’s writing. Simple to read and highly enjoyable, it’s a core part of why this book is such a quick read. Dialogue is delightful and pacing sublime. The story is not long by any measurement, but the pages flew by in a whiff and would have done so even had it been a tome. Patience be damned. And as for the mystery element… It is exquisitely plotted and elegantly executed. And it seems, christie has a knack for keeping you guessing to the end. When the big reveal is eventually presented, it’s the knock your socks off kind of mic-drop that has you staring open-mouthed at the pages, and then grinning at the ingenuity of it all.
