The topic was quite interesting and the reveal was really intriguing
I thought that Ginevra would be the killer but it was the random lady. That was a bit meh since it felt like Agatha Christie had to choose a killer and didn't want to sacrifice the characters that she liked. Still I'm happy that Nadine and Lennox ended up happily and I'm also happy for Sarah and Raymond
As always this book was also quite racist and also the way they treated older people who were fatter was so disgusting. So keep that in mind. It was still fun and I read it in one sitting.

A clever, twisted mystery (as to be expected) with an uneven pacing. A lot of set up, then the middle, then a lot of Poirot pontificating on all the things that could have happened but aha no, it was something else, aha no...etc. Also why does Christie oddly match people up in couples after the murder is solved? The happy ending is justice not romance!

Note. From the 1930s (late ish?). Content warnings -
Some quite dated, racist portrayals of Arabic people.
Mental and emotional abuse by a family member.
