Surprisingly this is my first Agatha Christie novel, but I enjoyed it so much that I ended up putting a handful of her books on hold at my library to pick up this coming week. This was fascinating but I will say it would have been even more enjoyable if I did not already know how it ended. Not because of the movie (I have not seen the movie) but because other mystery books I have read mentioned the ending of this book so that kind of ruined the ending for me or I could have seen it as a great tw ...more

I watched the movie a long time ago before I read the book so I already knew how it ends. It was quite fun to read it but sometimes I felt like Poirot was making a lot of assumptions based on the small amount of clues.
