Not one of her best in my opinion. And that has nothing to due with the fact that I share the last name with the villianess

Excellent. Christie never disappoints. The last three books I tried to read were duds. When this happens, I know I can grab a Christie novel and be more than content. As always this one kept me guessing until the end. The character development far exceeded anything modern that I have read lately, hence the duds. I love the menagerie of suspects and motives. There is nothing one dimensional about it. A great read.

I don't usually guess these, but the major clue was pretty obvious in this one, or I'm just getting more clever (highly doubtful). Actually I'm thinking it's a technique she's used before, now I'm going to have to think of what book....wait! I did, but I'm not going to say.

Dit is niet mijn favoriete Christie, maar de sfeer van het Midden-Oosten en de hele setting is goed getroffen, daarom toch vier sterren.

I quite enjoyed this Poirot mystery and seeing him travel to another part of the world.

Entretenido pero poco memorable.

Realmente pensaba que iba a ser Ginevra la culpable, pero no. De hecho, era alguien que ha salido poco en la novela y de quien tenemos pocos datos, pero Poirot se saca uno del bolsillo durante su recapitulación de los hechos.

Hablemos de la recapitulación también. Tres capítulos o más para revelarnos al culpable... Cada uno trataba sobre uno o más sospechosos, lo que te hacía pensar que realmente fueron ellos hasta la última frase del capítulo. Tengo la sensación que lo hacía para liarnos. Y vaya que si lo logró. No me ha gustado descubrir cómo lo pudo hacer una persona para luego decirnos "pero no, no fue así". ¿Entonces para qué lo he leído? ¡Ve al grano!

Pero es que, aunque a mí me gusten las novelas rápidas, esta ha abusado de ello. Poirot quiso resolver el caso únicamente entrevistando a cada sospechoso y lo logró. Chica, dame algo más de acción. ¿Y cómo se supone que yo iba a deducir que el marido de Lady Westholme estaba en la cárcel donde la víctima era la celadora si no lo nombras en ningún momento?

No sé. Ha sido entretenida pero con un final un poco decepcionante.

I didn't enjoy this one because it took a while before Poirot entered the scene, and because he seemed to speak to everyone once and then work it out. I prefer working it out with him over the course of the entire book, not just from halfway.
