I didn't like the reference to Jews. I didn't know Agatha Christie was antisemitic.

I had never read anything by Christie. I heard a critic raving about "And Then There Were None" as her best book so I gave it a chance. It felt like I was just wasting time, like doing a jigsaw puzzle alone. Very boring, but I never liked this type of fiction in the past.

This was my first Agatha Christie book and my favorite of all her books so far! Fun to read it during a thunderstorm!

Agatha Christie was my first murder-book author I ever read--and this was my favorite by far
