While unlike any other Agatha Christie mystery I've read, I really enjoyed this one and was shocked that for once I actually figured it out. Yes, that's right, I figured out an Agatha Christie mystery. Often I come close, sometimes I have the motive or the murderer right, or I eliminate most of the red herrings, but this one I actually solved without any big surprises at the end.

However, while I'm incredibly proud (can you tell?), I'm also a little disappointed. I solved it? What happened, Agatha? Why didn't you stump me even a little?

And though I did enjoy the fun little jabs at The Peacock and Mrs. Oliver, I wasn't as much a fan of the '60s youth focus. I also wasn't thrilled with the last couple pages--they felt a bit sudden. Overall, though, an interesting story with plenty of clues and counter clues and counter counter clues to keep any Agatha Christie fan guessing.
